This function translates HTML entities back to readable characters:

function decodeHtmlEntities(str: string): string {
  const entities: { [key: string]: string } = {
    '"': '"',
    ''': "'",
    '&lt;': '<',
    '&gt;': '>',
    '"': '"',
    ''': "'",
    '<': '<',
    '>': '>',
    '&amp;': '&',
    '&': '&',
  };
  return str.replace(
    /&amp;#39;|&amp;lt;|&amp;gt;|&amp;quot;|&amp;amp;|&#39;|&lt;|&gt;|&quot;|&amp;/g,
    (match) => entities[match],
  );
}
