HTML Entities in ReasonML/ReasonReact

Ah, I have to use dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ "__html": "☰" }}. Didn’t want to have to do that but oh well.

I don’t see why that wouldn’t work with just Unicode, but yeah if you have to emit actual HTML entities then you have to wrap it in another element.

This is an issue with React, not Reason or ReasonReact, btw, so other solutions might be, or become, possible if React enables them.
