Bug ID: 72734
Summary: Unicode characters in API output
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API

Not sure if this is a bug but for example:
wget -q -O-
"http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=abbé_Prévost&prop=links&format=json";
produces:
{"parse":{"title":"Abb\u00e9 Pr\u00e9vost","links":[{"ns":0,"*":"Antoine
Fran\u00e7ois Pr\u00e9vost","exists":""}]}}
According to
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/e9/index.htm
..the "\u00e9" is Unicode é produced by C/C++/Java. For an API this means I
need to translate and I don't have an easy way. Should the API produce the
character é not Java/C++/Python encoded?
