Is that gson not support Chinese charaterset?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When serializing Chinese charater with gson like: gson.toJson('测试'); it 
will return something like "\u6d4b\u8bd5".  Is that gson not support non-
English charaterset?I'm using the gson-1.2.3. Thanks!

This was a problem before, but was fixed in Issue #23.  See the following 
thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-gson/browse_thread/thread/f2094410e2a7f347

In short, \u6d4b\u8bd5 is the unicode equivalent of 测试.

Try the following:
public static void main(String[] args) {
  System.out.println("测试");
  System.out.println("\u6d4b\u8bd5");
}

NOTE: you'll need to save the file as UTF-8

We agree with the issue that was raised. Gson should not write escaped unicode 
characters and instead let the underlying writer (passed in toJson()) handle 
the 
character encoding.
