I don't think the JSS has full unicode support. Students who have emoji in their iPad name show up as "�" which is what I think you're calling the "monster character" and something I've come across too. It's tripped me up in scripting a little in the past.

I doubt there's anything we can do; you should ask your Jamf support person.

After support request, I got a temporality method. It is Install a test JSS on a Linux or a mac machine and create the profile there. Download it and upload to the JSS.

PS : My running server is Windows Server 2008

Thank you for sharing this information! My JSS server is also on a Windows host, so that must be the bottleneck.
