Comment (by Lettort):

 Hello,

 maybe I am asking about basic unicode knowledge. Even than I would be
 happy to get a link or some explanation to the following question:

 The description says: "...'ä' in UTF-8 will become \u00C3\u00A4 ..."

 Why is 'ä' not becoming /u00E4?
 The "/u"-pair is no surrogate pair, isn't it? So what's the meaning with
 it?

 Why am I asking?
 My problem is, that I am generating a JSON file which will be read via
 JQuery to be shown in a web page. In that case, this pair will be shown as
 two separated unicode symbols.
