they're not comparable at all. you can't embed a null into a string

\u0000 works fine with firefox with the proper syntax

  JSON.parse(`"\\u0000"`)
  "\u0000"

and jq supports it too

  printf '{"null":"\u0000"}' | jq
  {
    "null": "\u0000"
  }

of course! I forgot to quote those quotes! (facepalm)

that works. and uses a single byte too.

TIL.
