Unicode in the textare

[newbie57]

Silly question:

I need to put unicode in the text area:

<textarea name="message">&#1048</textarea>

This works well and the symbol appears as it supposed to. However, when I'm trying to set the value of the text area dynamically through the javascript something like that:

document.form.message.value=&#1048

Then the actual coded string appears, instead of symbol. Is there something to the effect of unicode escape character ?

How can I solve this ?

Thanks.

This worked fine for me:

<form name="f">
 <textarea name="message"></textarea>
 <input type="button" name="b" value="b" onclick="this.form.message.value='&#1048'" />
</form>

Is there a reason you're both leaving off the semicolon?
