The document source view/edit (textarea) in Futon should show unicode characters as their JSON representation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-952
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-952
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Futon
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1
         Environment: Firefox 3.6 / OS X
            Reporter: Sean Coates
            Priority: Minor


When editing a document in Futon, with the whole-document source editor, I think the interface should show Unicode characters as CouchDB actually sees them.

For example, if you enter this into a document:

\u2708

it becomes:

✈

Displaying the glyph is fine for *display* but when editing, I think it's important to see the actual JSON. This wasted a lot of time for me today when a document had a zero-width space (\u200b) that I couldn't get Futon to show me.
