You should be able to just use a DataContractJsonSerializer[^].

There is no such problem:

RCF 4627 says:
Any character may be escaped. If the character is in the Basic Multilingual Plane (U+0000 through U+FFFF), then it may be represented as a six-character sequence: a reverse solidus, followed by the lowercase letter u, followed by four hexadecimal digits that encode the character's code point. The hexadecimal letters A though F can be upper or lowercase. So, for example, a string containing only a single reverse solidus character may be represented as "\u005C".

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON[^],
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm[^],
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4627[^].

And of course, use DataContract and System.Runtime.Serialization.Json.DataContractJsonSerializer:
