I am returning special characters (specifically °) in JavaScript/jQuery, but it is not converting the entity to the desired character in the display. How can I display the degree sign correctly?

It must be simple; what am I missing? I have checked decodeURL, but it does nothing.

Demo fiddle

The HTML:

<p>Try to give answer is: </p>
<div id="target"></div>

<p>But should look like:</p>
<div> 5 &deg;C</div>

And the Javascript with jQuery:

$('#target').text('5 °C');

Output:

• javascript
• jquery
• html
• encoding

To see the interpreted character entity you need to use html():

$('#target').html('5 °C');

Updated fiddle

Try this:

$('#target').html('5 °C');

text function escapes the html characters so you get what you see.
