I am using json with unicode text, and having a problem with the IE8 native json implementation.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<script>
var stringified = JSON.stringify("?????? olé");
alert(stringified);
</script>
Using json2.js or FireFox native json, the alert() string is the same as in the original one. IE8 on the other hand returns Unicode values rather than the original text \u0e2a\u0e27\u0e31\u0e2a\u0e14\u0e35 ol\u00e9 . Is there an easy way to make IE behave like the others, or convert this string to how it should be ? And would you regard this as a bug in IE, I thought native json implementations were supposed to be drop-in identical replacements for json2.js ?
