Description Josh Spiegel 2014-11-13 23:08:21 UTC 
In Serialization 3.1:

"Escape according to the rules of the XML, HTML, or JSON output method, whichever is applicable, any characters (such as < and &) where XML or HTML requires escaping, any characters (such as " and `) where JSON requires escaping, and any characters that cannot be represented in the selected encoding."

In RFC7159:

"All Unicode characters may be placed within the quotation marks, except for the characters that must be escaped: quotation mark, reverse solidus, and the control characters (U+0000 through U+001F). "

I think ` is a typo and \ was intended.
