Research direction

Start by fetching the linked badchar.json resource through the jsonpify Heroku URL and inspect the generated response around the unusual character. Trace the JSON-to-JSONP handling from the repository entry point, then verify that the response is valid JavaScript and can be evaluated with the fooers callback without an error.
