Use the following code: 

function utf8_converter($array) {
    array_walk_recursive($array, function(&$item, $key) {
        if (!mb_detect_encoding($item, 'utf-8', true)) {
            $item = utf8_encode($item);
        }
    });

    return $array;
}

$data = array("0"=>"hello","1"=>"180.00 10µH");
$data = utf8_converter($data);
echo json_encode($data, JSON_PARTIAL_OUTPUT_ON_ERROR);

Try this:

$dat = array("0"=>"hello","1"=>"world");
echo json_encode($dat);   // work

$data = array("0"=>"hello","1"=>"180.00 10µH");
echo json_encode($data, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);
