Describe the bug Special characters encoded with HTML don't display properly in some parts of the interface.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

2. View from show blocks -> OK
3. View location in technician view or item view -> bad

Expected behavior Should display uniformly.

Can you share the show block?

[dvnstrcklnd]

    show do
      title 'Resuspend and Store Samples'

      note "Resuspend each sample with 30 #{MICROLITERS} #{FORMIC_ACID_WATER}."
      note "Store the samples at 4 #{DEGREES_C}."
    end

[dvnstrcklnd]

Where DEGREES_C = \°C

The location in the item popup is a textfield – meaning you can edit it. The others are just display.
