The file seems to be corrupt.
Usually json saves unicode chars with the prefix \u followed by a hex number.
If the character is encoded with utf8 (no \u notation), the normal json module is still able to load and decode it.
But if there for example quotes are missing, this can lead into this strange exception.
You could try the dirtyjson, load the string and dump it with the python-json module. Then
you can compare the original file together with the corrected fie (from json.dump or json.dumps).
