Use the escape "&#" and the character number (in decimal) with ";". Or 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 accentued characters, use something like this :

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