Alok,
"\u3403" is not a unicode string, but a string that has hex code of an
unicode character in it. It can be unicode encoded or its encoding can
be anything else really.
Since "\" is a special character and has extra meaning in Java String
class, it gets escaped by escape character, which is "\". Now you
know, what is the extra meaning of "\" ;-)
Now JSON should not have any problems with parsing such
character/string, even when double escaped. Make sure that your server
is correctly configured for use of unicode.
Also try sending the actual character (paste it from some place that
generates a character based on its hex code), but please make sure
that your source code is unicode encoded, otherwise it will not work.
