Turn any HTML escape entities in the string into characters and return the resulting string. 
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer(s.length());
int ampInd = s.indexOf("&");
int lastEnd = 0;
while (ampInd >= 0) {
    int nextAmp = s.indexOf("&", ampInd + 1);
    int nextSemi = s.indexOf(";", ampInd + 1);
    if (nextSemi != -1 && (nextAmp == -1 || nextSemi < nextAmp)) {
        int value = -1;
...
StringunescapeHTML(String source)
Returns the provided string where all HTML special characters (e.g. 
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(source.length());
int start = -1, end = -1;
int last = 0;
start = source.indexOf("&");
end = source.indexOf(";", start);
while (start > -1 && end > start) {
    String encoded = source.substring(start, end + 1);
    String decoded = HTML_CODES.get(encoded);
...
StringunescapeHTML(String source)
unescape HTML 
int i, j;
boolean continueLoop;
int skip = 0;
do {
    continueLoop = false;
    i = source.indexOf("&", skip);
    if (i > -1) {
        j = source.indexOf(";", i);
...
StringunescapeHTML(String source, int start)
unescape HTML 
int i, j;
i = source.indexOf("&", start);
while (i > -1) {
    j = source.indexOf(";", i);
    if (j > i) {
        String entityToLookFor = source.substring(i, j + 1);
        String value = htmlEntities.get(entityToLookFor);
        if (value != null) {
...
