All JSONObject's files are UTF-8 with BOM:

JSONObject.SlackBuild: Bourne-Again shell script, UTF-8 Unicode (with
BOM) text executable
JSONObject.info:       UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text
README:                UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text
slack-desc:            UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text

And BTW, JSONObject.SlackBuild has as shebang "#!/bin/bash" and, as
far as i know, it should be "#!/bin/sh"
