HTU21D.md: issue with degree symbol (°)

[The-Alchemist]

I get a weird symbol after copy/pasting the code from http://www.espruino.com/HTU21D:

I copy/pasted from Chrome. Anyone else see this problem?

This is not a module issue.

Typing direct to console works

t = 23;
=23
>console.log("t = " + t + " °C");
t = 23 °C
=undefined
> 

using upload it is printing more than °C

t = 23;
console.log("t = " + t + " °C");

/* output

t = 23 °C
=undefined

*/

It's actually a Web IDE issue (kind of) - I think the degree symbol is being treated as utf-8 unicode, so is actually being sent as 2 characters - and the Web IDE isn't decoding the received characters back into one character.

A quick fix would be to make the tutorial use the correct numeric ascii code for a degree symbol...

Thanks, guys!

@gfwilliams : If you point me in the right direction in the Web IDE code, I might be able to fix the issue.

Hi @The-Alchemist,

does it work for you too ?

[gfwilliams]

Thanks for spotting this - I think this was fixed a month or so ago.

Sorry I missed the previous post, but FYI it's in unicode.js I think
