Converting Unicode letter to its code

I want to know how do I convert any string having any Unicode character to UTF8 format in javascript? i,e if I want to convert the "météorologie" to "m&eacutet&eacuteorologie".

If you notice, u will find that the Unicode letter "é" is replaced with its code "&eacute".

Use escape() with replace and some regex.

Try the code below.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> 
<head> 
<title>Demo</title> 
</head> 
<body> 

<script type="text/javascript">

var u = 'météorologie';
u=escape(u).replace(/%(..)/g,"&#x$1;")

document.write(u);
alert(u);

</script>
</body> 
</html>
