JavaScript 1.4 and ECMAScript are all compatible with Unicode.  So, type
your text and save your file as UTF-8.  Don't forget to put this line in the
header:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

If your editor doesn't support Unicode (saving), it's possible to use
Unicode escape sequence in string literal, eg \u30A2 for Katana Letter "A".
For example,
alert ("\u308F\u305F\u3057")
but I admit that it's a pain to do like this !
