I just went to RFC 4627 instead of json.org, and there IS a way to
encode characters outside of the basic multilinguale plane (that's the
technical term for anything larger than U+FFFF).

The example they cite encodes the G clef character (U+1D11E) as
"\uD834\uDD1E". This is known as using a "surrogate pair".

Unfortunately, it takes some bit tweaking to get this right, so I'd
better take a look at it.
