UTF8 Dingbats + Javascript

Question

Is there a way to set the text of an element to something like ✘ (✘) using JQuery?

ie:

$('#something').text('`&#10004;`'); //only ends in tears.

you can make a literal string expression using JSON.stringify(hardCodedChar) — dandavis, Aug 20 '14 at 01:08

String.fromCharCode is the tool you need.

$('#something').text(String.fromCharCode(10004)); //Checkmark
