JSON encoding wrongly escaped (Rails 3, Ruby 1.9.2)

Question

In my controller, the following works (prints \"oké\")

puts obj.inspect

But this doesn\'t (renders \"ok\\u00e9\")

render :j

I have got a very tricky way to solve this problem. Well, if to_json did not allow you to have the correct code, then you could directly try to write :

render text: tags

render json: tags or render json: tags.to_json will always auto transfer the encoding style, but if you use render text:tags, then the string will stay as it is. And I think jQuery could still recognize the data.
