How can i place special characters in an array in javascript

In php I can do this to place a back slash inside an array

$symbols = array(".","\\\\");

What is the best method of doing this in javascript with backslash, colon, and semicolon?

Use an array literal delimited by square brackets:

var symbols = [".","\\", ":", ";"];
console.log(symbols);

See here for a more thorough explanation of arrays and their methods.

you need to scape backslash (backslash is the escape keyword). If you need to push an item to the array use the push() method.

let arr = ['\\', ':'];
arr.push(';');

console.log(arr);   //Outputs ["\", ":", ";"]
