Json to iOS Encoding Error - ios

Question

Problem: I can't parse data from a JSON file to a NSArray appropriately. UTF encoding is not working as expected.
My JSON looks something like:
[
{"Name":"Marcos","Address":"1234 Brasil Av. São Paulo - SP","Latitude":"-23.000","Longitude":"-46.70"},{"Name":"Mario","Address":"1000 Washignton Luiz Av. Itú SP","Latitude":"-20.0000","Longitude":"-46.000"}
]
My Objective-C code is:
NSError *error = nil;
NSURL *jsonUrl = [[NSURL alloc]initWithString:
#"http://marcosdegni.com.br/teste/webservice_teste.php"];
NSString *jsonString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:jsonUrl
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];
NSLog(#"jsonString: %# , Error:%#:" ,jsonString, error); //(1)
if (!error) {
NSError *error2 = nil;
NSData *jsonData = [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSArray * jsonArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:kNilOptions error:&error2];
NSLog(#"\n\nArray: %#" \nError:$#, jsonArray, error2); //(2)
//(*1*) This log show the content's as they are expected: note the characters ã and ú on the address fields.
//(*2*) The logs from the array and the dictionary show this charters as it's UNIX codes:\U00e and \U00fa respectively.

You can give this a try. The id json you get will be a NSArray, you can use it from there.
NSData *data = [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
id json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];
NSArray * array = json;
for (NSDictionary *dict in array) {
NSString *string = [dict objectForKey:#"Address"];
NSLog(#"%#",string);
}
From here, and I get the right result if I obtain the value of the key and log it, instead of logging the NSArray directly.
