Print Special Characters like the Copyright Symbol using JavaScript

To print special characters like the Copyright symbol © or a Trademark ™ using JavaScript, use escape sequences.

For example, to print the Copyright symbol ©, use this code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
    <title>Print Special Characters using JavaScript</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="divOne" />
<script type="text/javascript">
    var str = "Copyright \u00A9 DevCurry.com";
    document.getElementById('divOne').innerHTML = str;
</script>
</body>
</html>

Check some more Character Entity References over here. Note that escape sequences in JavaScript begins with a backslash character (\) like \u00A9 and so on.
