A way to do this: $this.text('&#94;');
<p>I want to change change the symbol of a button from a ^ sign to one that is pointed to the opposite direction(don't know what it's called).</p>

<p>I want to do this throughout the .text() function that jQuery provides. Sample:</p>

<pre><code>$this.text('&amp;#94;');
</code></pre>

<p>Does anyone have a suggestion how to do this?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
