I have created a series of buttons in C# and would like their text to be displayed in HTML. Can I do this without changing the button to an HTML button?

```php

protected void CreateButton()
{
btnSkill = new Button();

btnSkill.Text = "display this German symbol: &auml;"; // PROBLEM HERE!
}

```

Thank you very much in advance!
