Additional comments
I have a helpdesc component that lists the active users with their details. There, the address is'nt displayed in greek, but in unicode characters (\u03a7\u03af\u03bf\u03c2) as taken from the db.
Try using json_decode($value, true) to get the correct display in your component.

I am closing this as it is not an issue with the core of joomla which is working as intended
