Hi!
> RFC 8259 specifies that characters outside the BMP may be represented
> as a surrogate pair (\uD800-\uDBFF followed by \uDC00-\uDFFF).
> Currently, each \uXXXX escape is converted independently to UTF-8,
> producing invalid surrogate code point sequences instead of combining
> them into a single UTF-8 sequence. Lone surrogates are also improperly
> accepted. Combine valid surrogate pairs and reject unpaired surrogates.
> 
> Also return the UTF-8 length instead of the code point when no output
> buffer is given. The caller treats 0 as failure, so \u0000 made
> copy_str() fail without setting an error message.

I would put this code first, not in an elase branch.


        if (ucode >= 0xdc00 && ucode <= 0xdfff) {
		ujson_err(buf, "Unpaired low surrogate");
		return 0;
	}

	if (ucode >= 0xd800 && ucode <= 0xdbff) {
	    ...
	}

Also it's unlikely that we will hit this in LTP, unless someone adds
emojis or hieroglyphs in test strings.

This is a good bugfix, should have gone in a separate patch. Without
this we may overshoot the required size for the buffer by order of a
magnitude.
