For a very long time, the -description method of NSArray (and other collection classes) has produced the old-style ASCII plist format. Since that format has no direct representation for non-ASCII characters, the output is produced in escaped Unicode form.

See the description of Representations here:

I don't know if collections have always done this, but they've acted that way for so long that I don't feel motivated to boot up an old PPC Mac and track it back into the dawn of history.
