Ignore the special characters from the string

Question

I am having a string which contains some special characters. ie "MCDO'S ". here in the code i am replacing it with the ascii html values like this.

riDescription.replace("\"", "").replace("\\", "").replace("'", "&#39;");

here ' is replaced by ' Now the result which i am getting in UI is like this.

In action class, you can use, `HtmlUtil.escape` (for storing in DB) to replace these special characters with respective ASCII literals. While on UI `HtmlUtil.unescape` will do the trick. — Parkash Kumar, Sep 29 '16 at 07:45

Have you verified by printing both values? Do you observe any difference? — Parkash Kumar, Sep 29 '16 at 07:58
