JSON does not support Unicode in the sense of allowing raw Unicode codepoints.
Instead JSON uses a \uNNNN scheme to encode Unicode characters (a bit flawed
to limit it to four hexadecimal digits though, it leaves the whole CJK Unified
Ideographs Extension B out of scope.).

I use simplejson along with lxml/ElementTree for my JSON<>XML needs.
