Ex. call to /api/learningcircles/cities/ gives

{
   "count": 9, 
   "items": [
      { "value": "boston",  "label": "Boston" }, 
      { "value": "cape_town", "label": "Cape Town" }, 
      { "value": "montr\\u00e9al", "label": "Montr\\u00e9al" }, 
      ...
   ]
}

Here is a question and answer on stack overflow about return UTF8 in a response.

[x] Ensure clients consuming API expects UTF8
[ ] Make it consistent across other API endpoints
[x] return UTF8

UTF-8 is supposed to be the default https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-8.1
