Michael,
Can you tell me why the second half (N.Items[1].AsUnicodeString) this test
fails? This is the part that decodes "bank teller \u00Ae ".
The test fails on "Joe®Schmoe", not on "bank teller \u00Ae ".
If you WriteLn the UnicodeChars string to console, it shows:
{ "name": "Joe®Schmoe", "occupation": "bank teller \u00Ae " }
(notice the  in front of ®)
This is because your string is encoded wrong in the binary.
Adding
{$codepage UTF8}
Before the uses clause makes your test print 'TRUE'.
Because I work on Linux, I also had to add the "cwstring" unit to the uses
clause.
