I'm pretty new to using the Google Chart Tools and am experimenting
using the Geomap so please excuse me if I am asking something obvious.

I am trying to plot some figures on the map for each country but am
having trouble with countries which contain an apostophe such as: Côte
d'Ivoire.  I can plot the country on the map using the region code CI
but when I try to put the countries name in the Hover Text column it
breaks the page.  If I escape the apostrophe then it simply displays a
space.  How should I escape or encode the the apostrophe in order to
display it?

Here is a simplified version of my code:

<html>
<head>
  <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.google.com/jsapi'></
script>
  <script type='text/javascript'>
   google.load('visualization', '1', {'packages': ['geomap']});
   google.setOnLoadCallback(drawMap);

    function drawMap() {
      var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
      data.addRows(4);
      data.addColumn('string', 'Country');
      data.addColumn('number', 'Documents');
      data.addColumn('string', 'HOVER', 'HoverText');
      data.setValue(0, 0, 'CI');
      data.setValue(0, 1, 800);
      data.setValue(0, 2, 'Côte d'Ivoire');
      data.setValue(1, 0, 'RU');
      data.setValue(1, 1, 300);
      data.setValue(1, 2, 'Russia');
      data.setValue(2, 0, 'BR');
      data.setValue(2, 1, 400);
      data.setValue(2, 2, 'Brazil');
      data.setValue(3, 0, 'FR');
      data.setValue(3, 1, 700);
      data.setValue(3, 2, 'France');

      var options = {};
      options['dataMode'] = 'regions';
      options['width'] = '1082';
      options['height'] = '700';

      var container = document.getElementById('map_canvas');
      var geomap = new google.visualization.GeoMap(container);
      geomap.draw(data, options);
  };
  </script>
</head>

<body>
<div id='map_canvas'></div>
</body>

</html>
