What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. var enc:String = JSON.encode( "éè" );

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: "\u00e9\u00e8"
Encoder doesn't produce accurate json notation

SONEncoder.as#163

By

if ( ch < ' ' || ch > '}' ) {
// get the hex digit(s) of the character (either 1 or 2 digits)
var hexCode:String = ch.charCodeAt( 0 ).toString( 16 );

// ensure that there are 4 digits by adjusting
// the # of zeros accordingly.
while( hexCode.length < 4 )
{
    hexCode = "0"+hexCode;
}
// create the unicode escape sequence with 4 hex digits
s += "\\u" + hexCode;

} else {

// no need to do any special encoding, just pass-through
s += ch;

}
