Which character representation is \300-306\ in javascript?

I'm using a function to remove accents from strings. It uses many regex like/[\300-\306]/g, /[\340-\346]/g, /[\310-\313]/g, /[\350-\353]/g to reference a range of accented characters like. [\300-\306] represents [Á, Ã, Â, À..]. I searched about this representation but didn't find any reference about it. I also think it isn't Ascii, unicode, utf8 since this numbers are different from their respective representation of these characters. What representation is that?

They are just octal representations of the byte values. \300 is 192 decimal.
