#10796: JSON writer incorrectly escapes UTF8 strings

 Reporter:  vygis.d@…             |      Owner:  cornedbee
     Type:  Bugs                  |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined      |  Component:  property_tree
  Version:  Boost 1.56.0          |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  json, escaping, utf8  |
----------------------------------+---------------------------
 Consider a string s = "Šnipiškių".

 JSON writer stores "\u00C5\u00A0nipi\u00C5\u00A1ki\u00C5\u00B3", which is
 actually "Šnipiškių".

 Expected behaviour:

 1. UTF-8 strings properly escaped by boost::property_tree::write_json
 2. boost::property_tree::read_json then reads EXACTLY the same UTF8
 string.

 I.e., if the original ptree contained "Šnipiškių", the same string
 "Šnipiškių" must be read back by read_json.
