I am trying to cycle through all of the Zodiac signs using Javascript/Jquery.

Is there a way to do this by just counting up and then displaying that Character?

At first I tried this Using the &#XXXX way of writing the characters, but they would not be converted to their respective Unicode character, but instead displayed literally.

Then I tried using uXXXX but I got the Error: “malformed Unicode character escape sequence”. Here is my code:

setInterval(changeZodiac, 200);

var whichZodiac = 9800;

function changeZodiac() {

var hexZodiac = whichZodiac.toString(16);
console.log(hexZodiac);
> $("#zodiac").text("u" + hexZodiac);
whichZodiac++;
if (whichZodiac > 9811) {
whichZodiac = 9800;
> }
> }

The error feels like it is there to prevent a problem if something like this happens accidentally. But is there a way to make this work intentionally?
