chrome consloe error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token"?

Question

a = "Πότε να χρησιμοποιήσετε το X-VPN (Αρχικό όνομαFastLemon VPN Free) Όταν συνδέεστε σε ένα δημόσιο Wi-Fi hotspot, Όταν παίζετε παιχνίδια και χρειάζεστε ένα καλύτερο δίκτυο, Όταν κάνετε online αγορές με την πιστωτική σας κάρτα ή το Paypal, όταν επικεντρώνεστε σε πράγματα επιχειρήσεων"

I put this code to chrome console, it's error like

Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

this string is Greek， how can I fix this？

The left separator characters seem to be the issue. There are 3 of them... between 1) Free) and Όταν, 2) hotspot, and Όταν, and 3) δίκτυο, and Όταν. JSHint warns for each of them that "This character may get silently deleted by one or more browsers." — Jonathan Lonowski

Javascript parse error on '\u2028' unicode character The error is because those characters are recognized as part of the language's syntax. If you'd like to keep them within the string value, they'll have to be escaped as \u2028 within the literal. — Jonathan Lonowski

This is because special charater: · Middle dot Alt + 249, Alt + 0183 · · in your string. You can replace Alt + 249 with · like:

a = "Πότε να χρησιμοποιήσετε το X-VPN (Αρχικό όνομαFastLemon VPN Free)&middot;Όταν συνδέεστε σε ένα δημόσιο Wi-Fi hotspot,&middot;Όταν παίζετε παιχνίδια και χρειάζεστε ένα καλύτερο δίκτυο,&middot;Όταν κάνετε online αγορές με την πιστωτική σας κάρτα ή το Paypal, όταν επικεντρώνεστε σε πράγματα επιχειρήσεων"

When show in HTML, html will convert to special character. http://fontmeme.com/alt-codes-shortcuts-html-codes-for-special-characters/
