Question

I want to include a JavaScript (.js) file on my page. In the JavaScript I have a statement similar to as follows:

document.title = "Site › Page";

The problem is, › doesn’t do the trick. It doesn’t get parsed as an HTML entity, and the browser’s title bar displays "Site › Page".

I tried using the actual character, e.g.

document.title = "Site › Page";

But that comes up with the question mark symbol in Firefox because it is unencoded.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I found the solution. I was editing the external .js file with Notepad and the encoding defaults to ANSI. When I resave the the file with UTF-8 encoding, the character set includes my character, and it outputs correctly.

Thank you for your responses!
