Decode characters that are ampersanded

Questions & Answers
1

So I have an encoded text coming from a webhook that contains encoded characters with ambersand and HTML :

- é 
- '
-  
- <br/>

And I need it to be decoded somehow, or at least readable!
There these functions:

  • stripHtml : which is nice, it removes all HTML tags such as the
  • decodeURL : It’s unfortunately not an URL and it doesn’t decode it
  • ascii : I don’t think it’s the function to use here, the characters are already ascii

Any ideas what I could try to do here?
I guess my last shot is to replace every characters I may encounter but it might be a bit complex!
