In my jquery script I need to dynamically translate some content, so part of such function is

$('#password').attr('placeholder', 'Contraseña');

where I tried to change placeholder attribute to text Contraseña.

Unfortunatelly, jquery shows text Contraseña

What does a trick to force jquery to show correct decoded text?

    You have to escape special characters using JavaScript syntax, not HTML syntax.

    $('#password').attr('placeholder', 'Contrase\u00f1a');

    Personally I'd use .prop() instead of .attr() too, though both should work here.
