Character code is escaped by setText() method

[hanfeisun]

I am using the "material-icons" for the font of `TextPath". The effect looks like this

Following is my code using "Leaflet.TextPath"

        pathLayer.setText '        ',
            repeat: true
            offset: 8
            attributes:
                'font-weight': 'bold',
                'font-size': '24'
                'class': "material-icons"

I found it didn't work well because  is escaped by the setText method.. Is there a way to tell setText to not escape this?

It is solved by replacing  with \ue145..
