Antoine Pitrou added the comment:
I wonder if json should simply be less strict by default. If you pass the raw
unescaped character, the json module accepts it:
>>> json.loads('{"a": "\ud8e9"}')
{'a': '\ud8e9'}
It's only if you pass the escaped representation that json rejects it:
>>> json.loads('{"a": "\\ud8e9"}')
