gollark: Okay, this is hand-rolled parsing code, I have no idea how it works.
gollark: *But* this is a bug in the JSON handling, which I should really fix *anyway*.
gollark: Ah, base64 should do it, yes.
gollark: Ah, *this* is the problem! The parser is primitive and does not support `\uxxxx`.
gollark: The problem is:* Lua bytestrings being encoded as JSON strings requires correct encoding* The JSON library didn't serialize that way* It appears to not *de*serialize that way? I don't know.
