how to change button value to special characters (dynamically) ?

[xEM]

I have something like that:

var button = document.getElementById("mybutton");

if(flag) {
button.value = '»';
} else {
button.value = '«';
}

This code set my button value to text: '»' but not to symbol '>>'.
How to do that ?

Thanks in advance.

Consider

button.value = flag ? "\u00BB" : "\u00BF"

in which finding the right value for BF is left as an exercise.
