How can you make the Github API accept Unicode characters in JSON?

code.js

function JSON_stringify(s, emit_unicode)
{
   var json = JSON.stringify(s);
   return emit_unicode ? json : json.replace(/[\u007f-\uffff]/g,
      function(c) { 
        return '\\u'+('0000'+c.charCodeAt(0).toString(16)).slice(-4);
      }
   );
}

summary.md

Github doesn't seem to accept unescaped Unicode characters in JSON. If your JSON encoder doesn't escape unicode characters, you can do this manually using the \uXXXX syntax of JavaScript string literals.

Rationale: Since it's not defined as a part of the spec, characters are not required to be escaped by JSON.stringify, which is the only JSON encoder/decoder provided as a part of Node.js. Thus, a wrapper function is required to get this functionality.
