How can I convert the HTML entities € ► ♠ to their actual characters € ► ♠ using JavaScript?
An example would be:
alert(String.fromCharCode(8364));Where 8364 is the number of the HTML entity.
To replace a full body of text automatically then you will need to use this regular expression replacement example:
The magic happens here:
replace(/&#(\d{1,4});/g, function(fullStr, code) { return String.fromCharCode(code); });The first argument to replace,
/&#(\d{1,4});/g, specifies 1 to 4 digits surrounded by &# and ; respectively. The second parameter,function(fullStr, code) [...]does the replacement, wherecodeis the digits.
