JSON with Unicode attributes

I am developing a web app and I want to use JSON objects with Unicode attributes such as the following:

a = {
ονομα:"hello"
}

And then use it like that 

a.ονομα

Or maybe iterate over the object

I have tried it in the chrome console and it works fine but I would like to know if it is supported in other browsers and if it's a good practice.

Starting with JavaScript 1.5 a JavaScript identifier, you can use ISO 8859-1 or Unicode letters such as å and ü in identifiers. You can also use the \uXXXX Unicode escape sequences as characters in identifiers.

Looking at the browser compatibility for JS 1.5, you should be safe as even IE6-7 run that version.

For more detailed info check: http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/javascript-identifiers or this SO answer.
