title: How to display special characters in input element text field but still preserve the value in JQuery
body: <p>I am hoping to hide the text field entries by showing some special character, but internally when I access the value, I want to get the entry as entered by the user.</p>
  
  <p>It has to be a type="text" like</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="text" id="mytext" value="" size="60" maxlength="128" class="form-text mck-input-text required" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot.</p>
