Hey Kadir.

You do no need to specify your JSON content as being UTF-8.

RFC4627 states:
"JSON text SHALL be encoded in Unicode. The default encoding is UTF-8"
and goes on to explain how to determine the encoding of the octet stream.

Furthermore, the IANA assignment for 'application/json' includes the 
following note:
"No "charset" parameter is defined for this registration. Adding one 
really has no effect on compliant recipients."

Hope that helps,
  Russell.
