How do i display a string with Special Characters like € in a Javascript/jQuery alert?

eg: I want to display a message box with "The Price is €10"

But when i use the below code:

alert("The Price is €10");

The Output shown in the message box is "The Price is €10", I want my output to be "The Price is €10".

Can some help me with this please? Thanks in advance.
