Handle special characters in ASCII

Question

Hello,

My Javascript function returns a char arrya which might contain non-printable characters. In fact each character is a byte (represented as a number from 0-255). The problem is that when I try to copy this char array to the notepad, for example, I get these results:

ORIGINAL STRING IN JAVASCRIPT:
performance of thisĎask, ćd so modest hā conductėďaĤĦĞaġ proposalĒČĵrriageėġclaŅngĥimselfėĔĘ furďħiīĭemenį willŢőtĝĶĻijħĜnėwhoėĴĔŕşedŹoulĚbeĩŦśŌevħĆŸ ičĴwāĊcŎeŝŭy bĺughĤup. TĦƠƘrĊĆńiƂ;ĨƜƞĨƆtivIJiĪ ŅĀnƂĎĴtĿŧtĒźich nIJŞĊhĶơĢűƘƃĘī MŖĢiňDžĒĜǁsŞpſdžĐǧǐooŗŖlowĒŢ

STRING PASTED TO NOTEPAD:

What can I do to have this string properly represented on Notepad when pasting it? On my HTML I am using UTF-8.

THANKS

Try telling notepad to use UTF-8. Save a blank file making the Encoding (last parameter at the bottom of the save dialog) UTF-8.

Note that I am able to copy the UTF-8 out of the page into notepad, maybe you have an encoding problem in your javascript file?
