Using non-ASCII character as JavaScript object key [duplicate]

Question

I have the following object:

var obj = {
  'ア' : 'testing',
  'ダ' : '2015-5-15',
  'ル' : 123,
  'ト' : 'Good'
};

How do I access the values by its non-ASCII key (it's a Japanese character in this case)?

Can't use obj.ア or obj.'ア' for sure, which will give JavaScript parse error.

Answer 1

You can use a subscript to reference the object:

> var obj = {
  'ア' : 'testing',
  'ダ' : '2015-5-15',
  'ル' : 123,
  'ト' : 'Good'
};
> undefined
> obj['ア']
> "testing"

You should also not that object keys and values in JavaScript objects are separated by :(colons) not => (fat commas)
