jQuery Encoding Issues

Question

I'm using the next code jQuery code -

         success: function(result){     
          $('#taglineResults').text(result) ;
           alert('אבג');
         }

as you can see the content in the alert is in hebrew , but the alert I get is three rectangles. I've tried using unescape and decodeUri but it didn't help, how could I solve this problem?

Thanks in advnace

Answer 1

this 100% works. Change encoding of your source code file to utf-8. You can use notepad++ for this. Then rewrite your text in hebrew again and save.

You will see hebrew in alert.
