I want to create a form button whose input value is a font icon. FontAwesome in this case. So I use a entity such as this for the input value: 
In plain HTML styled in CSS with font-family: FontAwesome
, everything works as expected:
<input type="submit" class="btn fa-input" value=" Input">
However, I want to create this element using JavaScript. In that case the & character seems always to end up being encoded so my entity comes out as  Needles to say, that prints out literally instead of the font icon. How do manage to not have that & character encoded?
Below is the Javascript I am using
var button = utility.dom.createElement('input', {
'type': 'button',
'className': 'fonticon',
'value': '',
'title': 'bla bla bla',
'tabIndex': 1000
});
and the CSS
.fonticon {
font-family:FontAwesome;
}
If you are setting the value using JavaScript instead of hardcoding it into your HTML, use a JavaScript escape sequence instead, such as \
. Your code for the button's value should change to:
'value': '\uf107',
By the way, U+F107 doesn't appear to be a valid character: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/f107/index.htm
