html-entities

I need to convert HTML special symbols to their appropriate Unicode values in my Firefox extension. I'm not dealing with HTML DOM, so can't use the trick with giving value to div and taking back. Also there are too many of them to convert manually. Thought Firefox has something to use.

The converted text should go to XUL's description element on statusbar.

Any idea how to accomplish this?
