When sending data as strings from clojurescript to clojure there will be 
issues if the source data contains certain unicode characters. (I think in 
range 128-255 - extended latin characters mostly).

This is because the goog string conversion used by pr-str encodes these 
characters as \x.. not \u00..

read-string will throw an exception if it encounters these characters.

Should read-string support these character escapes?



by way of work around, I am using:

(require '[clojure.string :as s])

(defn unescape [string]
  (s/replace 
    string #"\\x(..)" 
    (fn [m] (str (char (Integer/parseInt (second m) 16))))))

(defn my-read-string [s]
  (read-string (unescape s)))
