HTML decoding to plain text question

I’m pulling RSS feeds and getting encoded characters. Is there a way to get them back to regular text. I think they are Unicode and escaped for html?

On the web page source it looks like this:

It looks like this when copy pasted here in the forum:

:us_outlying_islands: US Secretary Department of War

but in RSS text, and in my app, it is displayed like this

I think it is encoding related, but any tips to get it right would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I asked GROK and it pitched a native function and MBS!

DecodingFromHTMLMBS(EncodedString)

MBS did the job very nicely!! My output is perfect.

Does anyone else use GROK for coding? I’m getting better results than from ChatGPT
