Print special character like copyright sign

Use the escape "&#" and the character number (in decimal) with ";".

Use the escape character "\" with the octal code. The following program prints all available characters with their decimal/octal codes

<SCRIPT>
document.write("There is no &#169; on this tip");
document.write(" and no &#174; or &#153; too <br>");
for (i=33; i<256; i++) {
  document.write
    ("&#"+i+"     dec =" + i +"   oct =" + (i).toString(8) );
  document.write("<br>");
  }
</SCRIPT>

To show in an alert box with accented characters, use something like this :

alert("\350 \351 \352 \353");
