json_encoded String that cannot appear to be decoded

Question

I have successfully produced the json representation below for one custom object. However, when I use json_decode(jsonObjectBelow) I am not successfully in converting it to an array. I have finally found out why this has happened. If I delete characters with accents e.g "Muñoz-Gómez", then the json_decode(jsonObjectBelow) works, and I am able to generate my array and extract the attributes. For practical purposes, I cannot scour all the attributes and removing these accents...Is there a solution?

json_object received: [{"abstractText":"Fevers of unknown origin (FUOs) may be due to any of over 200 different disorders. We present a most unusual case of an FUO in a returning traveler from the Dominican Republic. Work-up for Q fever, Brucellosis, Bartonella, malaria and HIV were negative, but very highly elevated ESRs and ferritin levels suggested possible Legionnaire\u0027s disease. This is the third reported case of Legionnaire\u0027s disease presenting as an FUO.","authorString":"Muñoz-Gómez S, Cunha BA.","issue":"1","journalTitle":"Heart Lung","pageInfo":"72-74","pmid":"25444558","pubYear":"2015","title":"Fever of unknown origin (FUO) due to Legionnaire\u0027s disease.","volume":"44"}]

This code works for text in attributes that have not got accents, but does not work for text with accents. My php code:

     //Get JSON POST
       $json = $_POST["jsonObj"];

     //Decode JSON into an Array
      $data = json_decode($json);

     for($i = 0; $i<count($data); $i++){

     echo "[".$i."]" . " " .$data[$i]->authorString . "/  " . $data[$i]->journalTitle . "<br>";
     }
