Comment (by ecotax@…):

 I also encountered problems with parsing Unicode characters. Specifically,
 when using the normal (non-wide-string) version of property_tree, parsing
 JSON containing explicitly encoded Unicode characters, using \uXXXX,
 characters above 0x7F, for example \u2026 (horizontal ellipsis) are not
 converted to UTF-8 (giving E2 80 A6).
 I just added a patch that will do so. I'm not sure if this is a good thing
 in general, and if so, whether the patch as is is production-ready, but
 maybe it's helpful in some way.
