According to http://www.json.org/ this is wrong, \u.... should be used instead. This actually bite me while using jQuery. Since jQuery 1.4 the JSON-responses get validated, so all my JSON-responses (that are constructed using escapejs) got broken. Patch to fix this should be rather trivial. Steps to reproduce: {{{ >>> from django.template.defaultfilters import escapejs >>> print escapejs('just-a-test') just\x2Da\x2Dtest }}} Open http://www.jsonlint.com/ and paste {{{ [""just\x2Da\x2Dtest""] }}}, hit Validate.
