Express Error when trying to add a file

I have

var users1 = require('./users');

when I am trying to compile a file with this line : I am getting the Error:

undefined:2
    �tobi�: {
    ^

    SyntaxError: Unexpected token �
        at Object.parse (native)
        at Object..json (module.js:471:25)

        at Function._load (module.js:311:12)

        at Object..js (module.js:464:10)
        at Module.load (module.js:353:31)

I am really not getting what is the issuw with that line. It is a file names users.jason with json bodies

the content of the user.json is :

{
    “tobi”: {
        “password”: “xxxxxx”
    }
}

should it be .json (or) json?

the users.js file has those special characters. You may only use the following characters for identifiers, and i quote http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/javascript-identifiers

An identifier must start with $, _, or any character in the Unicode categories “Uppercase letter (Lu)”, “Lowercase letter (Ll)”, “Titlecase letter (Lt)”, “Modifier letter (Lm)”, “Other letter (Lo)”, or “Letter number (Nl)”.

Have you tried redefining the �tobi� into something utf-8 like?

LATER EDIT:

The double quotes that you are using are wrong. Copy+paste and use these from now on: "
