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 = new 
GenericDatumReader<GenericRecord>();
            DataFileReader<GenericRecord> dataFileReader =
                new DataFileReader<GenericRecord>(data, reader);

            while (dataFileReader.hasNext()) {
                System.out.println(dataFileReader.next().toString());
            }
{code}
and the relevant JSON snippet is
{code}
    "description": "Move™ offers advertisers the opportunity to deliver 
messages to consumers at a time when consumers are making the biggest purchases 
of their lives\uMOVE™ OFFERS ADVERTISERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DELIVER MESSAGES TO 
CONSUMERS AT A TIME WHEN CONSUMERS ARE MAKING THE BIGGEST PURCHASES OF THEIR 
LIVES—OR REMODELING, REDECORATING AND MAINTAINING THEIR MOST IMPORTANT 
ASSETS.or remodeling, redecorating and maintaining their most important 
assets.",
{code}
(The \uMOVE is the problematic part).

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

Then I get
{code}
Move™ offers advertisers the opportunity to deliver messages to consumers at a 
time when consumers are making the biggest purchases of their lives—or 
remodeling, redecorating and maintaining their most important assets.
{code}
