I can confirm this issue also in firmware 2.3.13.83f5ba0 Beta,
look like the MQTT JSON text not decode with UTF-8.

Can confirm this issue still exists.

My guess is that something in this function is not quite right -- https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware/blob/master/src/mqtt/JSONValue.cpp#L833

Specifically these lines -- https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware/blob/master/src/mqtt/JSONValue.cpp#L854-L863

I have this problem too, I'm patiently waiting for this to be taken into account.

The JSON library being used, and the JSON on device in general is limited and does not support special characters. You need to use protobufs and parse json externally for full functionality.
