Unicode characters and 'groupable'

[aoverton07Participant]

I am trying to display a unicode character in my grid, specifically a checkmark (✓). I recently updated to jqwidgets latest version 4.5.3 and now I am unable to display the checkmark (I get the actual unicode string with leading ampersand/hashmark/x) UNLESS I enable the “groupable” option. The only way I can get the checkmark to show is if I set ‘groupable’ to true.

Here is a jsfiddle displaying the odd behavior, you just need to toggle the groupable property and re run to see the difference.

Please advise how I can solve this issue.

Hello aoverton07,

You could try to use this symbol ( ✓ ) directly. I tested it and it seems to work on both case.
I would suggest you use cellsrenderer:

cellsrenderer: function (row, columnfield, value) {    
    return value;
}

(in this case works with “& # x 2 7 1 3 ;”)
