Description
When executing commands such as oci compute instance list, json_decode() in php can fail when decoding the json output. This is because the json output can contain non-ascii characters, and it is not unicode as required by specification.
OCI version 3.50.0 (msi package)
Windows 10 version 10.0.19045.5011
