Unicode + Escape Character = IE Unterminated string constant error!

Let's say I have a string:

div.innerHTML = "<a onclick='foo(\""+myWord+"\");'></a>";

in IE only (tested version 7) if var myWord = "English" then it works
fine
but if var myWord = "Modifier Cha\u00EEnes" then I get "Unterminated
string constant" error.

What fix would you suggest to keep div.innerHTML = "" format?
Thanks.
