I currently have a zap trigger by a webhook. In the response, some characters turn into unicode characters.
For example < turns into \u003c and > turns into \u003e.
Is there a way to decode or unescape these unicode entities? E.g. like in this tool.
I played around with the Formatter, but no luck.
EDIT: Sample text
the second piece of code after the \u003cbody\u003e tag is \u003cdiv id=\"app\"\u003e but after

One to find all instances of \u003c and replace it with <. And another one to replace \u003e with >. You can find out more about how to use Formatter steps to replace text here: Find, replace, or split special characters
