properly display certain characters in a javascript select menu.

[dmmh]

Hi,

I don't know how to tackle this, I need to display the ü and ū characters like I write them here in a dynamically created javascript select box. Is there a certain function I can call on this to display these characters properly?

Seems javascript doesn't play nice with Unicode characters...

I simply write strings like obj.options[obj.options.length] = new Option('ū'),'133'); to a container, but they are encoded in the DB like &#363, so I use PHP's html_entity_decode() on the database result first, next I need to prepare for javascript, but this fails....

edit: seems WebmasterWorld doesn't like the Unicode Character 'LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH MACRON' (U+016B) either....

try:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

thanks, doesnt work though

I really think it is going wrong on the javascript side though, I dont have any problems displaying those characters with just PHP :)
