title: How to escape Special Characters in JSON
body: <p>We have a form which has a long paragraph for a scienctific application that contains characters like symbol beta(ß-arrestin) etc. We have a JSON service running on Mule that takes the data and persists to an oracle database. This particular element with long paragraph is giving me an error in RAML/JSON. Below is the error</p>
  
  <pre><code>com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Illegal unquoted character ((CTRL-CHAR, code 9)): has to be escaped using backslash to be included in string value
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The form element to which the scientists write we have no control. So on the Mule side how can we escape  these characters automagically like java has URLEncoded. Many Thanks</p>
