We need to use a non-standard unicode character from a custom font. When we try to use the escape sequence inside

Text()

, for example:

Text("")

, the resultant HTML has the ampersand escaped:



rather than showing the character. How can we use an HTML escape sequence either in a

Text()

or other element function?

I think to set raw content you have to use a disposable effect to access the scope element. This is used in the project to set the content of a code block to be some unescaped Kotlin code https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/blob/5d18d0a79dd26a0d5880bdb8c0bb7b8870c9421b/examples/web-landing/src/jsMain/kotlin/com/sample/content/CodeSnippets.kt#L263-L266 although it’s better to use

textContent

instead of

innerText

Thanks Adam. I gave that a try and couldn’t get it to work. It’s still escaping the

&

Did you try using Kotlin unicode escape instead of HTML?

Thanks @orangy That worked. As soon as I read your answer, I was like 🤦 “of course”.
