How to use Cyrillic in your code

Question

Is it possible to use Cyrillic characters in the Javascript code, for example:app.addMenuItem({ cName: "test", cUser: "test", cParent: "Help", nPos: -1, 
		cExec: "test()", cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);"}); 
function test() {
app.alert("Привет!", 3);
}Instead of Cyrillic characters, the function "app.alert" displays a set of characters corresponding to the CP1361 encoding (according to the online encoder).Does anyone have any experience with this issue?

It works when you run it from the console, but it doesn't work when you place the code in a text file, no matter the encoding (as far as I could see, at least). The way around it is to use the Unicode escape codes. For example, the first letter ("П") in your text can be displayed like this:

app.alert("\u041f", 3);

So you just need to convert your string to Unicode characters and then you'll be able to display it. Not ideal, but it works...
