'JavaScript to replace Chinese characters

I am building a JavaScript array depending on the input of the user. The array is building fine but if the user enters Chinese symbols it crashes. I'm assuming that it is if the user enters a chinese " or a , or a '. I have the program replacing the English versions of this but i don't know how to replace the Chinese versions of it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks to all for their input

You need to use unicode replacer. I think it will help you: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080528045141AAJ0AIS

.Net provides JavaScriptSerializer and it's method Serialize, which creates correctly escaped JavaScript literals (although I personally haven't used it with Chinese characters, but there is no reason it shouldn't work).

Building on broofa's answer:

If you just want to find and replace the Chinese punctuation like " or " or a . then you'll want to use unicode characters in the range of FF00-FFEF. Here is a PDF from Unicode showing them: http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/UFF00.pdf
I think you'd want at least replace these: FF01, FF02, FF07, FF0C, FF0E, FF1F, and FF61. That should be the major Chinese punctuation marks. You can use broofa's replace function.

Not asked by the question, but adding \u30a0-\u30ff\u3040-\u309f you can also take out the Hiragana and Katakana from Japanese:

replace(/[\u4e00-\u9fff\u3400-\u4dff\uf900-\ufaff\u30a0-\u30ff\u3040-\u309f]/g, '')
