how to use accented characters in jquery?

Question

I have two problems that probably have the same root cause and the same solution:

---

If I execute this code:

$("i").replaceInText("text1", "étrange");

I get �trange instead of étrange.

---

If I execute this code

$("i").replaceInText("étrange", "text1");

it does not find the étrange

---

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I guess you should check your encoded-file type. You should set it to UTF-8 if you want to use accent. Generally, you should use UTF-8 :)

Answer 2

try this

$("i").replaceInText("text1", "ètrange");

Answer 3

It appears that your .js file is not encoded in utf-8.
