HTML Canvas - Add UNICODE or HTML Entity etc to Dynamic Text Field?

[FlatChat]

How do I add UNICODE or HTML Entity etc to a dynamic text field??

E.g. 

root.streakAngle.text = streakAngle + '°';

  doesn't render ° as a degree symbol.

Hi.

There are several ways of doing this. Here's just a suggestion:

// "003E" is the unicode without the "U+" part
this.yourTextField.text = String.fromCharCode(parseInt("003E", 16));

This answer may give you more ideas:

To include a Unicode character in a Javascript string, just use a Unicode escape sequence:

root.streakAngle.text = streakAngle + "\u00B0";
