Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. in extension background environment, call chrome.storage.local.set({"test":["\u0000","\u0000\u0000"]})
2. var result = null;
2. Now get the data from storage: chrome.storage.local.get("test",obj => result = obj.test)

What is the expected behavior?
Result is the originally set array, ["\u0000","\u0000\u0000"]

What went wrong?
Result is equal to ["",""]. The strings containing unicode character(s) "\u0000" are now both empty strings.
