title: How to code the value of input[type="submit"] that validates
body: <p><strong>Two questions</strong></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>What is the best way to encode the rarer characters for form element values? </li>
  <li>Is the semi-colon in the example below causing the validation error or is it something else?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>HTML </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="submit" value="&amp;#61442;"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Validation Error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Document uses the Unicode Private Use Area(s), 
  which should not be used in publicly exchanged documents. (Charmod C073)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The value of this element is causing the error. I need to recode this decimal value to something that will render my glyph and also validates.</p>
