I have the following JQuery code:

$(this).text('Options &#x25B4;');

However, the ascii code isn't showing up on my web page. All that shows up is on the webpage is Options ▴.

What am I doing wrong?

Use the .html() method instead of .text().

The whole point of .text() method is to make the text appear exactly as it's in the string, with all tags and entities.
