Unicode and/or HTML Entities

[SunsetRunner]

I'm trying to use entities such as ¼, ½, and ¾.

I've tried using all the codes from https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/numbers/fraction-three-quarters/ to get a ¾. It seems to work if I place it directly in the index.gui, but outputs the literal string if I try to change an element's text via JavaScript.

document.getElementById('myElement').text='¾';

Is this a known issue? Are there any good workarounds?

If I'm not mistaken, .text will sanitize the input, causing literal output instead of HTML.

.innerHTML should work. Though I have not tested it specifically with the Fitbit Ionic.

document.getElementById('myElement').innerHTML = '¾';
