Question

I am manipulating German text in jQuery.

1. Maßnahme
2. Text

Now I need to check these texts in my switch case:

switch(compare){     case 'Text':         alert('Text');break;     case 'Maßnahme':         alert('Welcome');break;     default:; } 

Is there equivalent Unicode to check the German text?

Just a supplement to kgiannakakis’s answer:

<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' /> 

If you use utf-8, be sure to save your files as UTF-8 encoded. Check the settings of your (text) editor.
