title: I am getting some special character in my JSON response and i cant parse the JSON because of that
body: <p>I am getting some special character in my JSON response. When I paste the URL in the browser I cannot see any special character in the response but when I get the content as a string I get some special character and it is triggering some error. </p>
  
  <p>I tried saving the response to a text file and take it from there but still special character is coming. </p>
  
  <p>Sample response is given below </p>
  
  <pre><code>ÿþ{"Symbol":"H","Company Name":"ABC"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(sample is not complete JSON response. I am just posting the beginning.)</p>
  
  <p>Why is this happening and how to avoid the special character?</p>
