hi,

have you tried to convert the string before writing?

  http://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Character-Set-Conversion.html

i was writing to a file in an extension, there i used

  const Me = imports.misc.extensionUtils.getCurrentExtension(); let 
file = Me.dir.get_child("filename.json");
file.replace_contents(JSON.stringify(this._settings, null, 2), null, 
false, 0, null);
maybe this work (obviously only if you file is in your extension dir) 
cheers
