kurba&#287;a
d&#279;d&#279;

Those are all words and i want them to convert into normal words in javascript. Is there any javascrtipt method for this?

Can you give a little more context here. What is the encoding you are using? — bhspencer, Mar 05 '18 at 19:07
`s = document.createElement('span'); s.innerHTML = 'дядько'; console.log(s.innerText)` will return this: `"дядько"` — GottZ, Mar 05 '18 at 19:08
In case you miss it while going through the answers to the linked question, HTML characters are Unicode. — Tom Blodget, Mar 06 '18 at 12:20

They are HTML entities, an alternative could be created temporarily an element and then get the innerText.

var textNode = document.createElement("span");
textNode.innerHTML = `&#1076;&#1103;&#1076;&#1100;&#1082;&#1086;
kurba&#287;a
d&#279;d&#279;`

console.log(textNode.innerText);
