 There is an issue with the json output in v 4.7.3 - it breaks the Android
 App - I have. This has been working fine, tills version 4.7 then it
 started to work with 4.7.1 now it's not working again.

 The issue code be an language encoding issue, you could look at my output

 You can see that it starts failing on the html output code </a> and all
 output is a link reference.

 I have another site running on the same multi-site setup, that also has
 issues - the site is

 [https://thelonelycyclist.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/]

 It shows that the issues is with the JSON Output response to a REST API
 call, I hope you can identify and fix.

 I have tested this on my staging host with similar results.
