Use unicode, and precede the code with \u, like this:

'Veuillez inscrire votre pr'+\u00E9+'nom'

If you want to dispaly special characters of german in javascript alert or innerHtml or InnerText then fomat as below

For Example:

you want to display
alert(''Bitte überprüfen Sie die Eingabe'');

instead of ü use \u00FC

alert('Bitte \u00FCberpr\u00FCfen Sie die Eingabe');
