Handling character entities

Hi guys,

do you know if there is any API in Symbian to convert text that contains HTML/XML character entities like " & # a m p" or "& # 8 2 2 0" to normal characters?
for example, I get some HTML code in CDATA[] tags from XML parser and that code contain loads of these symbols, but I didnt find any API to properly convert them

well, of course I could define some conversion table in application code, but I believe there is some other way to do that in Symbian... does anybody know?

Thanks in advance!
