If you're talking about a web browser, the character set the browser uses to interpret the file is determined by the Content-Type header sent with the file by the server. ( script tags also have a charset attribute, but if the server says something different, the server wins. Best to ensure the server is sending the right information.)
So the file must be written to storage using the character set that the server will tell the browser it's using. It's a fairly common error to store the file as Windows-1252 or ISO-8859-1, but have the server send it saying it's UTF-8, which causes the kind of issue you've raised.
Ensure that the encoding of the file and the encoding the server reports match, and characters won't get messed up.

You can use the encoded character for é \\xE9 in your JS file. This should work irrespective of the encoding of the JS file. (If this is the only character that you would like to be addressed). Try the below code, it should solve your proble
var default = {
Title : "Actualit\xE9s",
Channel : "French"
}

Kindly add the following meta tag at the head element of html document :
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
The above code will force browser to load content as Unicode.
