Special characters not getting displayed correctly in html button Title

I know this is very basic question, but we are tumbled on to it.

We have a simple button in HTML file

<button data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Button" id="reset" name="reset" title="This is Reset button">Reset</button>

We have implemented the internationalization using dojo i18n feature and have provided appropriate French translation of the title property of the button as R&#233;initialiser la recherche.

The special characters in that message gets displayed correctly in French if I use that message to display the HTML label like Réinitialiser la recherche. But when I use the same i18n message in html button's title property, it is getting displayed as it is in the properties file R&#233;initialiser la recherche.

Has anyone faced this issue or know the trick to display special characters in Button's title property?

Thanks in advance.

The issue was resolved when we used R\u00E9initialiser la recherche instead of R&#233;initialiser

If you want to display special characters in a title attribute, you can just enter the character itself (use é not &#233;), you just need a character encoding. Add the following <meta> tag to your <head>:

<meta charset="utf-8" />

And then set your button's title attribute like so:

title="Réinitialiser la recherche"

And it should work.
