Append euro-sign to form textfield (zf2)

Question

I'm trying to append a €-sign to my textfield, but it's not showing right. All I get is a �-sign. I've tried the following:

$(priceText).val("€ " + price + ",-");
$(priceText).val("€ " + price + ",-"); 

as well as € and €

But nothing's worked so far. Can anyone help? If more info is required, please ask, new to SO.

Thanks in advance!

There is probably character encoding mismatch (Related),

Use unicode value \u20AC for € (Euro)

$(priceText).val("\u20AC " + price + ",-");
