looks good.

although I also think that translation should be kept to 1 character.


what about use "zero-width space"

>>> print('hello\u200bworld')
hello​world
>>> 'hello\u200bworld'.split('\u200b')
['hello', 'world']

Yes, Chinese only use a single char.

year = 年 or 岁
month = 月
day = 日 or 天

one char.

I think at the moment 'ascii-escaped' only exist in json string, we always
load the json string, so it seem to no problem.
