Note what JSON.stringify() produces is a subset of JSON, a subset of what JSON.stringify() accepts:

```javascript

a= '"\\'+'u2603"'
""\u2603""

b= '"\u2603"'
""☃""

JSON.parse(a) === JSON.parse(b)
true

Because JSON.stringify("☃") won't ever give you an ""\u2603"", even though it's as valid JSON as ""☃"", and .parse()s to the same value.
