Hello,

I'm playing with a i2c LCD Display (PCF8574) and having a great time! ❇️

I'm just struggling get a '%' behind my humidity printed. I read the docs but didn't got smarter.

Another question is how can I utilize more than one page or let content scrolling?

Thank's for the help already!

Did you see https://esphome.io/components/display/index.html?highlight=literal%20sign ?

Also, if your display character set doesn't include the % character there's no way to add it manually. (though this one seems to support it: https://mil.ufl.edu/3744/docs/lcdmanual/charset.gif)

Closing as limitation of the display
