IE9 does not accept unicode string in Javascript

Question

I tried to run my webapp with IE 9 (it already runs well in Firefox and Chrome) and I continuously get The error

Script1014: Invalid Character

The debugger yields one line of code that contains the string "\ufdd0'keywordize-keys". I realize that this is an artifact of ClojureScript which I use to compile down to Javascript. I.e. Clojurscript symbol :keywordize-keys.

Now I was looking for a solution and I tried adding the encoding to the import HTML tag

<script src="js/advanced.js" type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8"></script>

this, however, does not make the error go away. Any Ideas?

Make sure the webserver serves the js/advanced.js resource with the correct charset.
