Jquery inserting unicode instead of symbol
jquery, symbols, unicode
Solution
`♂` is an HTML escape code. It is only processed in HTML source.
Javascript string literals use their own escape code: `'\u2642'` (with the code point in hexadecimal rather than decimal). You can also just use the character directly: `'♂'`. (this requires that you set your file encodings correctly)
Problem
i'm looking in a way to make a really basic wysiwyg such as when a user lick the button, it insert the symbol ♂ (`♂)` It is working but there is two problem : 1 - Only the unicode characters are inserted, they are not converted into symbol (`♂)` 2- If you have time, is there a simple way to insert the symbol where the "text cursor"is and not at the end of the content of the textarea ?
