String escape seq \x and \u not working

[spiros]

Hi everyone 

 

I trying to convert a as3 string with with escape seq ro js equivalent .

For example for  the as3 code :

       var str:String = "\xc9\u80FF\u00C9";

I get in Js this;

              

  var /** @type {string} */ str = "???";

 

Is there a way to get the correct representation in js (compiler flag or a
different use of string
