Comment:

 Using the Unicode-encoded format ensures the greatest interoperability
 with all clients, which is part of the reason it's the default encoding
 used internally by PHP. The Unicode-escaped format is a valid part of
 JSON, and client decoders should correctly handle this.

 Apart from not being as nice when you're viewing the raw JSON data, the
 data is a valid representation of the data (that is, it's not a lossy
 output format) and decoders should correctly understand these characters.

 I'm in favour of closing this as wontfix.
