There’s to tool or function that will do this. Best option would be to create a reference/lookup table that contains the character entity (escape string) and the actual character. Use Find Replace tool to swap them out.

 

https://www.freeformatter.com/html-entities.html has a table that you can copy/paste into an Excel file or into a Text Input tool in Alteryx directly.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Jimmy
