Re: Browser Converts No ASCII for JS Text Node or any Text Attribute

The ü syntax is a numeric character reference meant for an HTML

var myASCII = "Do not remove text ü and do not remove text,

document.createTextNode(myASCII);

and there are plenty of different strings containing all possible
ASCII values. What would you recommend in that case. Is it possible to
convert all ASCII to Unicode, then?

ASCII is a subset of Unicode. As said, ü is a numeric character reference to be parsed by an HTML or XML parser. That has nothing to do with ASCII. If you have such character references then you need to use an HTML parser for instance by setting innerHTML of an HTML element node.
