javascript chinese/japanese character decoding

I created a JSONP function on the server and returns a UTF-8 encoded json object like this

applyLocalization({"Name":"%E5%90%8D%E5%89%8D","Age":"%E5%B9%B4%E9%BD%A2"});

on my javascript on the client side, i want to convert the garbled part to their original state like

{"Name":"名前", "Age":"年齢"}

I tried $.parseJSON() but it doesnt work

You could use the decodeURIComponent function. But you shouldn't be URL encoding your javascript strings. You should send them as UTF-8 strings as-is. Javascript is capable of understanding them.

You can use decodeURIComponent to decode urlencoded strings like yours

decodeURIComponent('%E5%90%8D%E5%89%8D');
//result: '名前'
