As unescape has been deprecated I have chosen decodeURIComponent , but it doesn't work as expected . decodeURIComponent cant decode the following URI ponent
Coast%20Guard%20Academy%20to%20hold%20annual%20Women%92s%20%91Leadhership%92%20event
While decoding the above string decodeURIComponent throws an error, which blocks the remaining javascript execution.
Is there is any solution to fix this ?

The issue is with the
%91and%92characters - the quotes. I'm not sure on exactly why this is – Rory McCrossan Commented Jan 21, 2015 at 9:38 - Consider this solution:stackoverflow./a/45732650/4572425 – Dudi Commented Aug 17, 2017 at 10:30

Reset to default 3The %91 and %92 characters were encoded using an ANSI codepage. decodeURIComponent() expects the string to have been encoded as UTF-8:
The
decodeURIComponentfunction putes a new version of a URI in which each escape sequence and UTF-8 encoding of the sort that might be introduced by theencodeURIComponentfunction is replaced with the character that it represents.
The two quotes should be encoded as %E2%80%98 and %E2%80%99.
