Rich already pointed out rightly that control characters are not allowed
literally in JSON strings. As tDOM rightly complains your input is not
JSON.

Another problem is that tdom man page talks about a command "dom
setResultEncoding ?encodingName?" but trying it results in an unknown
command error.

You obviously use a (very) old  tDOM version. The dom method
setResultEncoding is a relict out of the times as tDOM still supported
Tcl 8.0 (and the functionality was only needed / useful if build/used
with Tcl 8.0).

The documentation and implementation of this method was removed with
tDOM 0.9.1 (more than six years ago). Most recent version is 0.9.5.
