Special Characters (UTF-8) with jQuery, Airport library

I've been try开发者_开发知识库ing to use the airport library and my problem is that it won't print special characters like ä, ö, &, etc. I've looked at this post but that doesn't solve my problem either.

I've included the library like this:

<script language="javascript" charset="utf-8" src="path/jquery.airport-1.1.js"></script>

Can anyone help me? I'm using codeigniter.

Well the exact suggestion in the post you linked to works flawless.

Check this test case

Note that you have to modify the plugin code directly and add the characters you want to the chars array inside the plugins code. That's exactly what I did. I added ä,ö,ü add the end and it works
