How can encode/transform this string as what it is supposed to be?

1It's called an HTML entity. If you assign it to `innerHTML` it will be rendered as expected. – Barmar Sep 17 '21 at 02:30

1It is just an hex code of the character, between `&x` and `;`. You can just write a function to do the translation. – Giacomo Catenazzi Sep 17 '21 at 06:52
