What is \u2019 in JSON?

\u2019 in JSON is a Unicode escape sequence representing the right single quotation mark, also called a curly apostrophe or smart quote. JSON uses \u followed by four hexadecimal digits to represent Unicode characters. This escape sequence is commonly encountered when JSON contains text from word processors that use smart quotes instead of straight quotes. For example, {"text": "don\u2019t"} displays as "don't". Most JSON parsers automatically convert these escape sequences to their actual characters when parsing. Use our JSON Formatter at jsonconsole.com/json-formatter to view JSON with Unicode escapes properly rendered, making text more readable. Other common Unicode escapes include \u201C and \u201D for curly double quotes. While JSON accepts these escape sequences, they can make raw JSON harder to read, though they ensure proper character representation across different systems and encodings.
