Handling of special characters

[hrmoller]

The following characters are not decoded when appearing in a string in the passed JSON:

æ - encoded as \u00e6
ø - encoded as \u00f8

(More to come😊)

Were you able to solve this issue? If so please share the solution. I faced a similar issue:
I am trying to extract content from HTML file and construct a json from the extracted content. JSON created contains some special characters like \u0013 , \u0014, \u0007 etc. How to handle this?

I believe that this is normal behavior. Simply call System.Regex.UnescapeString on the data either before processing or when you access it. I'll double-check to make sure that the parser isn't transforming a single unicode character into this string, but I think this is just what happens when you put a unicode character through a .NET string.

I am using java org.codehaus.jackson API to create json. I checked the extracted content from HTML. That looks fine. The special character comes up after converting the extracted content into jsonObject and saving it to a .json file

Could you send some sample data that reproduces the issue?

sampleHTML.txt
sampleJSON.txt

I have attached sample html page and the resultant json.

This should also be fixed by #21

I've made a bunch of updates and this should be handled. There is now an EscapeString and UnescapeString method to handle this scenario. I didn't handle unicode characters, but I think they should be preserved as-is. Feel free to re-open this PR if the issue persists on the latest version.
