How to set charset=utf-8 in the javascript file itself

rated 0 times [ 187] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 54457 / 7 Years ago, sat, june 17, 2017, 12:00:00

I am trying to set charset=utf-8 inside the javascript file itself, not in the script tag,
I know that I can do this:

<script type=text/javascript charset=UTF-8 src=xyz.js></script>

But unfortunately, this solution needs me to do the same step with hundreds of websites which are using the same script. so I am trying to set the charset in the javascript file itself.
Is this possible?

thanks

I found another way, so instead of declaring charset=UTF-8 for the script tag like this:

<script type=text/javascript charset=UTF-8 src=xyz.js></script>

I can declare the charset for the web page itself using meta tag, so I can append <meta charset=UTF-8> to the DOM dynamically, and end up with something like:

<head>

...

  <meta charset=UTF-8>

...

</head>
