Error in JSON with accents

I'm having problems with my JSON , the error is accentuation, does JSON allow? if it allows, how can I do to show, what will get JSON needs it to be normal, with accents and everything ..

MY JSON:

{
    "id": "addCTE",
    "status": "Em Digita\u00e7\u00e3o",
    "chaveDeAcesso": "000001",

    "fluxoDeCargaDestino": "",
    "previsao_data": "",
    "previsao_hora": "",
    "detalhesDadosRetirada": ""
}

Instead of accents, the code is, for example, the word Digitação is displaying Digita\u00e7\u00e3o
