-[NSString jsonStringValue] not handling unicode chars

[smorr]

Strings such as später are being encoded as sp‰ter

Possible Solution:
replace
default:
-- [jsonString appendFormat:@"%c", nextChar];
++ [jsonString appendString:[NSString stringWithCharacters:&nextChar length:1]];
break;
or
default:
if (nextChar >0x7e){
[jsonString appendFormat: @"\u%04x", nextChar];
}
else {
[jsonString appendFormat:@"%c", nextChar];
}

Former will place the unicode char into the string itself (eg später)
latter will escape the unicode char (eg sp\u00e4ter)

The problem here is the %c string format specifier. It should be %C to handle 16-bit Unicode.

So that statement should read:
[jsonString appendFormat:@"%C", nextChar];

The -jsonStringValue method converts all Unicode characters above the UTF8 range into escaped hex representation, so später will always get JSON encoded as "sp\u004xter". The assumption is that the caller wants UTF-8 encoded JSON.

JSON can be encoded as UTF-16 or UTF-32, but then it must be represented as binary data. BSJSONAdditions only generates UTF-8 JSON.
