JSON uses Unicode characters: A string is a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters, wrapped in double quotes, using backslash escapes. A character is represented as a single character string. A string is very much like a C or Java string. https://www.json.org/json-en.html (even though the railroad diagram says "codepoints"; I find the whole thing a bit muddy—what exactly is representable in JSON strings? Excepting a few encoding details, that completely describes the language. ??? which details?) -- D. Ben Knoble
