Special characters in JavaScript

How to display special characters in JavaScript?

Following are the list of characters that can be used to show the special characters to the users.

\’ – shows single quote character
\” – shows double quote character
\& - shows ampersand character
\\ - shows double back slash
\n – shows new line
\t – shows tab

Here we are using "\" (Back slash) as escape characters (escape character is used to override the following character default behavior) to display special characters.

<script>
 function AlertMe() {
    alert("\"This sentence has a double quote \", being displayed using escape character.!");
 }
</script>

<input type="button" id="btnAlert" onclick="AlertMe()" value="Show Alert" />

In the above code, alert will show “(double quotes) character in the alert message that is being displayed by using the escape character “\”.
