'In js, how to set button caption with css characters

I want to create dynamically a button with css symbol as caption.
I want to put a small arrow.
I try this, without success:

let btnDel = document.createElement("input");
btnDel.type = "button";
btnDel.value = "&#x21E7;";

A nudge ?

Best regards

javascript css button
