& hellip ; is converted directly by stack overflow

Maybe it's not an encoding problem: from the error log I see, that you try to convert a String to a JSONArray. I'm not an expert in the JSON domain, but a JSONArray is a collection and I'd expect that you try to add the String (including the ellipse char) to the (existing) JSON array rather then trying to make an array from the String.

JSON expects all Strings to be in UTF-8 format, so it really should be able to handle the ellipse char.
