There seems to be two layers of escaping? I don't think that
is a good idea.
There are multiple ways to do only one layer of escaping:
- Escaping doublequote as %22, and having backslash be literal.
- \u{codepoint} for unprintables (codepoint is 1-6 xdigits).
- \codepoint; for unprintables (codepoint is 1-6 xdigits).
