I'm trying to replace an html symbol code '&divide' with another string.

I can't get this to work. See example below.

CODE
     <body>

         <p id='target'>A &divide B</p>
         <script>
             console.log(`${document.getElementById('target').innerText}`);

             console.log(`${document.getElementById('target').innerText.replaceAll('รท', '/')}  (want this to = 'A / B') `);

             console.log(`${document.getElementById('target').innerText.replaceAll('&divide', '/')}  (or, want this to = 'A / B') `);

         </script>

     </body>



Can anyone help? Pandy?
