title: Struts - How to escape encoded symbols within a text field
body: <p>I have a struts text field with some default text inside of it. The default text needs to include the trademark symbol. I would like to know how to get the symbol to display. I have tried a few different things which only output the code and not the actual symbol.</p>
  
  <p>My script looks something like </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;s:textfield value = "Add a Number\&amp;#169;" 
            cssClass = "text-input-large" 
                 rel = "someNumber" 
           maxlength = "12" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
