Whats the trick for special characters?

In using a variable message format such as content[1]='it's a small world'

How exactly is the inner ' shown in the coding?
I tried 'it&acutes' which does not work.
Neither does 'it'+&acute+'s'.

Just being curious. Not that it matters that much.

thanks again.

If it doesn't matter much, shall we leave it at that?

===============

perhaps for others than the OP:

content[1] = "it's a small world" // using double quoted string

content[2] = 'it\'s a small world' // escaped

content[3] = 'it\047s a small world' // octal ascii

content[4] = 'it' + String.fromCharCode(39) + 's a small world'
// String object decimal ascii

etc.

Thanks for the info.
