How to keep special characters in J-query?

Question

My jquery string has special characters as follows.

$(window).load(function() {  
  var text = 'Hi there, I'm 5'5" height';
  alert (text); // out put without ' " signs
});

i want to print same as it is the out put. How to do it? In PHP it does by htmlspecialchars function. Required output is

Hi there, I'm 5'5" height

FYI this has nothing to do with jQuery - it's a "problem" you'd have in vanilla JS too as that's how strings are interpreted. — h2ooooooo, Mar 22 '16 at 07:03

You need to escape the quotes using \

  var text = 'Hi there, I\'m 5\'5\" height';
  alert (text); // out put without ' " signs

Is there any special function to do it for bulk of text. I meant texts come from database. – Geeth Welagedara Mar 22 '16 at 07:04
