The ECMAScript standard specifies support for Unicode charcters within string constants. Internet Explorer 4 supports the ECMAScript standard, Netscape Navigator 4 partially supports the ECMAScript standard. Netscape Navigator 5 (when it is released) will fully support the ECMAScript standard.
To include Unicode characters you need to specify an escape sequence:
document.write('\uXXXX');where XXXX specifies the hexidecimal value of the Unicode character.
Internet Explorer 4 fully supports this, Netscape Navigator 4 only supports Latin-1 encoding using:
document.write('\xXX');
