Send Email from App with Unicode symbol

Posted on by 13

Hoping to get some direction.  I am developing an app to track issues in our shop.  I am storing the data in a SP List.  One of the fields (columns) in my SP List is the Status of the issue, i.e. In Review, In Progress, Complete, etc.  We use Symbols to display these values and I am storing the corresponding Unicode in a separate column in the same SP List.  I want to send an email from this app and display these symbols in the email so that the status is quick to ascertain.   I have been utilizing this tutorial (https://www.matthewdevaney.com/send-formatted-emails-from-power-apps-without-writing-any-html-code/) to help me, but can't figure out how to show the symbols.

 

Below is the a snipped of the code for the field I am trying to populate:

 

 <td width=62 style='width:46.75pt;border-top:none;border-left:none;
 border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;
 mso-border-top-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;mso-border-left-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;
 mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'>
 <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:""Cambria Math"",serif'>"&StatusCode&"</span><o:p></o:p></p>
 </td>

 

Where StatusCode is the field name in my SP List.    The field displays the symbol if I hardcode it:

 

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:""Cambria Math"",serif'>&#9681;</span><o:p></o:p></p>

 

I am storing the code in the SP List as #9681.  Does anyone have an suggestions as to how I can achieve this in my email?  Thank you.

    Hi @Opal55 

    You'd need to output the HTML escaped verion of the code. If you're storing #9681 in your SP list, you'd need to use this syntax to output the character.

     <td width=62 style='width:46.75pt;border-top:none;border-left:none;
     border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;
     mso-border-top-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;mso-border-left-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;
     mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'>
     <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:""Cambria Math"",serif'>"
     & "&" & StatusCode & ";"&
    "</span><o:p></o:p></p>
