Invalid JSON when printing out records with unicode
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AVRO-860
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-860
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: java
    Affects Versions: 1.5.1
            Reporter: Miki Tebeka


I have an avro file, that when printed returns invalid JSON.
The code for iterating and printing is:
{code}

            DatumReader<GenericRecord> reader =3D new GenericDatumReader<Ge=
nericRecord>();
            DataFileReader<GenericRecord> dataFileReader =3D
                new DataFileReader<GenericRecord>(data, reader);

            while (dataFileReader.hasNext()) {
                System.out.println(dataFileReader.next().toString());
            }
{code}
and the relevant JSON snippet is
{code}
    "description": "Move=E2=84=A2 offers advertisers the opportunity to del=
iver messages to consumers at a time when consumers are making the biggest =
purchases of their lives\uMOVE=E2=84=A2 OFFERS ADVERTISERS THE OPPORTUNITY =
TO DELIVER MESSAGES TO CONSUMERS AT A TIME WHEN CONSUMERS ARE MAKING THE BI=
GGEST PURCHASES OF THEIR LIVES=E2=80=94OR REMODELING, REDECORATING AND MAIN=
TAINING THEIR MOST IMPORTANT ASSETS.or remodeling, redecorating and maintai=
ning their most important assets.",
{code}
(The \uMOVE is the problematic part).

However if I do:
{code}
                GenericRecord record =3D dataFileReader.next();
                Utf8 desc =3D (Utf8)record.get("description");
                System.out.println(desc);
{code}

Then I get
{code}
Move=E2=84=A2 offers advertisers the opportunity to deliver messages to con=
sumers at a time when consumers are making the biggest purchases of their l=
ives=E2=80=94or remodeling, redecorating and maintaining their most importa=
nt assets.
{code}
