Hi! Are there any objections to incorporating bugfix for #43941 (fix for how json handles invalid UTF-8 sequences) into 5.2? I had some requests about it, right now it's only in 5.3+.
Is there the alternative of substituting an unmappable character FFFD in place of the invalid sequence? This a a reasonable alternative behavior for some less stringent cases. (Yes, the fix is better than the status quo, but just taking this a step further).

I agree, that would be quite reasonable and also more consistent with how UTF-8 works in other apps (browsers etc). David
