When using systems that are unable of basic compliance with existing Web
standards, it is possible to include the character encoding in the "type"
attribute of the <script> element, as follows:
<script type="text/javascript;charset=utf-8">
...
</script>
However, it should be noted that in most cases HTTP defines that the
information contained in that attribute is overridden by the information
in the HTTP headers and thus this is not a reliable method (and would not
work, for instance, if the server sent back contradictory metadata).
