MYSQL Insert strips backslash escape character from json string : <p>I'm trying to insert data into a mysql database, with the code below.
Problem is, my json code containing the value "R\u00f8nde" is changed to "Ru00f8nde" after I insert it into the database.</p>

<p>What is the best way to avoid this?</p>

<pre><code>INSERT INTO jos_payplans_user(user_id, params) VALUES ('24882', '{"modtager":"Anders And","adresse":"Paradisaeblevej 111","postnr":"1234","by":"R\u00f8nde","telefon":"12345678","user_notes":""}')
</code></pre>
