title: Using jquery/javascript to return unencoded value
body: <p>I am creating a list of  tags with content from returned json but I want to append the special character <code>&amp;#10006</code>(&#10006;) to each item. </p>
  
  <p>My jQuery code as is listed:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-js lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>$("span /&gt;", {text: (value["id"] + "&amp;#10006"}).appendTo("#divmyList");</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>Somehow &amp;#10006 keeps getting encoded and all I see is literally &amp;#10006 and not the "x". </p>
  
  <p>How do you specify when it is being passed into the text value in jQuery that this is a literal value and not to be HTML encoded?</p>
