Take for example the following string:

“A profile of Mr. T, the A Team’s most well known member.”

How do I use javascript replace the unicode character encodings and convert that to the following:

"A profile of Mr. T, the A Team's most well known member."

@adeneo posted an option using jQuery. Here's a relevant answer I found that doesn't use jQuery. From this answer: What's the right way to decode a string that has special HTML entities in it?

function parseHtmlEnteties(str) {
    return str.replace(/&#([0-9]{1,4});/gi, function(match, numStr) {
        var num = parseInt(numStr, 10); // read num as normal number
        return String.fromCharCode(num);
    });
}
