jQuery parsing unicode characthers in a string

Question

I have a string which basically looks like this:

20 pcs 1/4" d 13/32" l shank copper round head solid rivets fasteners

or :

20 Pcs 1/4" D 13/32" L Shank Copper Round Head Solid Rivets Fasteners

Where " should be represented as: " characther...

In my JS method I set the label value to following:

function WriteTitle(sentTitle){
 $("#myTitle").text(sentTitle);
}

I have tried using methods like decodeURIComponent, unescape or similar to parse these characthers but no luck so far...

How can I parse these into normal characters?

Answer 1

These are not unicode characters but HTML entities. You should use .html() method, it won't escape them (that's exactly what .text() does).

function WriteTitle(sentTitle){
  $("#myTitle").html(sentTitle);
}
