[Javascript] Encoding Unicode characters in HTML

[judah-fc at t8design.com (Judah Frangipane)]

I know how a person can encode an ampersand in html. They use "&" 
and this code is rendered by the browser into "&".

What I don't know is how to encode a unicode character. I am trying to 
encode a bullet character. The keystroke is ALT+0149 as displayed here 
?. There are many more unicode characters that I would like to let my 
users use. How do I encode the characters so that the browser renders 
them correctly?

var myTextField.value = "Me, myself & I.";
