json_decode issue with amp-list

Hi Milind,

Another issue with the output.

Code is:

for($x = 0;$x<$no_of_posts;$x++) {
		$list_array[ $x ]['year'] = get_post_meta($list_posts[$x], 'copyrightyear', true);
		$list_array[ $x ]['title'] = get_the_title($list_posts[$x]);
		$list_array[ $x ]['url']   = get_the_permalink($list_posts[$x]);
	}
	
	echo wp_json_encode( array( 'items' => $list_array ) );
	return wp_json_encode( array( 'items' => $list_array ) );

The output in the amp-list is showing &8211, etc on the frontend – https://www.flixwatch.co/stagin/lists/20-best-japanese-movies-and-tv-shows-on-netflix-sri-lanka/. The wp_json_encode seems to be fine – https://www.flixwatch.co/stagin/list-data/?post_id=66729
