title: JavaScript Encoding & Decoding Error
body: <p>I am getting an issue with Javascript Encoding and Decoding. I have a json object which contains a string encoded in UTF-8 like <code>'R\xc3\xa9union'</code>. To ensure that the Javascript file correctly displays the string, I'm adding an attribute charset to the script tag. The json object is in <code>countries.js</code>. I'm including countries.js as <code>&lt;script src="js/countries.js" charset="UTF-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code> and yet it is still being displayed as <strong>RÃ©union</strong> instead of <strong>Réunion</strong>. Any suggestion?</p>
