Thank you.

FPC fixes_3_0 with the program
"
program json;
{$codepage utf8}
{$ifdef FPC}{$mode objfpc}{$h+}{$endif}
{$ifdef mswindows}{$apptype console}{$endif}
uses
 {$ifdef FPC}{$ifdef unix}cthreads,cwstring,{$endif}{$endif}
 sysutils;
resourcestring
 a = 'aäÄ';
begin
end.
"
produces the file json.rsj
"
{"version":1,"strings":[
{"hash":7200948,"name":"json.a","value":"a\u00C3\u00A4\u00C3\u0084"}
]}
"
Is this intended? How can translation tools know that the Unicode points must 
be interpreted as utf-8 code units in this case?
