Displaying degree symbol in popup template of ArcGIS API for JavaScript?

Question

I am editing javascript code of ArcGIS API for JavaScript for online map.

the piece of code is here:

var lvEsriPopupT = new esri.dijit.PopupTemplate(
 { 
 "title": "Weather",
 "outFields": "*",
 "fieldInfos": [{
 "fieldName": "Temperature",
 "label": "Temperature deg& C",
 "visible": true}, 
 ... ],
 ...
 }); 

The code works fine. the issue that I am trying to fix, is displaying the degree symbol inside double quotes. anything I tried (° ℃ ℃) comes ups without being decoded to the actual symbol. I suspect it is because it is inside double quotes.

Is there a solution for that?

Answer 1

Why Didn't you use directly the ° character ?

otherwise use js String.fromCharCode function to render char from It's ascii code (degree = 176 ) like bellow :

var lvEsriPopupT = new esri.dijit.PopupTemplate(
 { 
 "title": "Weather",
 "outFields": "*",
 "fieldInfos": [{
 "fieldName": "Temperature",
 "label": "Temperature "+String.fromCharCode(176)+"C",
 "visible": true}, 
 ... ],
 ...
 }); 

• Bourbia Brahim: does it solve your issue ?
• lida: Thank you! Your solution worked perfectly. I tried to use ° character but in my code editor (notepad ++) it would change to normal o.
