Here is the output to the browser (broken):

{
"1" : {
"client_id" : "1123",
"name" : "WANSecurity, K.K.",
"address" : "æ ±äº¬éƒ½æ¸‹è°·åŒºä¸ŠåŽŸï¼’âˆ’ï¼”ï¼˜âˆ’ï¼‘ï¼’ ã ¨ã‚ˆä»£ã€…æœ¨ä¸ŠåŽŸã‚³ãƒ¼ãƒ ï¼ƒï¼’ï¼ ï¼‘",
"id" : "1"
}
}

...

Is this the expected behavior?

I think, it is. I am almost sure, your data is encoded correctly, but browser does not show it correctly. 'application/json' should be always encoded in utf-8, but browser may assume it being Latin-1 (or iso8859-1).

You could try requesting with curl and look, what you get. I got correct output with your conf.

And you may read about same issue here too:

If you need it to show up correctly in browser too, you may set header yourself "Content-type: application/json;charset=utf-8"

Wbr,

Kõike hääd,
