utf 8 - jQuery doesn't display Hebrew

Question

I am using jQuery to validate a form. I have at my html's head: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

I have utf-8 on my scripts:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="validate.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

My html page shows Hebrew just fine as long as it's not though the jQuery code. Any Hebrew character printed trough the jQuery (through the script in validate.js) prints out as: ????

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Open all your html, css, js (all client files that relevant to this project) using notepad and save them with utf-8 encoding. Notice that this might change the hebrew text and the content a little. After that you should see hebrew.

Good Luck!
