Rails 4: HTML Code Inside Link_to

Question

On the output I'd like to have this:

<%= link_to '&pound;', '#' %>

to show:

£

I wish not to input "£" as is, I need to input the html code for £. Is there a way?

did you try "£".html_safe ? or .h? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4251284/raw-vs-html-safe-vs-h-to-unescape-html — Mingsheng, Feb 23 '15 at 09:22

@Mingsheng post it as an answer <%= link_to '£'.html_safe, '#' %> as it works — Sylar, Feb 23 '15 at 09:29
