The answer in dupe question explains all options. There are three of them. If you can't use dangerouslysetinnerhtml in React Native then you have only two. — Estus Flask

This similar question explains all available options. Since dangerouslySetInnerHTML is inapplicable in React Native, there are only two of them.

HTML entities can be specifically decoded, e.g. with html-entities:

import { Html5Entities } from 'html-entities';
const htmlEntities = new Html5Entities();

...

{htmlEntities.decode(htmlString)}

The problem can be avoided by not storing HTML entities in the first place if possible. Currency symbols are valid Unicode characters and can be stored as such:

var currencyCode = "€"; // &#8364;
