Decode/Unescape Unicode Google App Scripts

I am new to decoding hence I am unable to decode below response while using UrlFetchApp.

Below is the function I am using to fetch data but getting values in unicode which I need to decode. Any function that I can use to decode this?

function scrap() {



  var url = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/invitation-rounds");

  var elements =/id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_PageSchemaHiddenField_Input" (.*?)/>/gim;



  var x = url.getContentText().match(elements);



  Logger.log(x);



}

Although I'm not sure whether this is the best way, how about this modification?

Modified script:

function scrap() {

  var url = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/invitation-rounds");

  var elements =/id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_PageSchemaHiddenField_Input" (.*?)/>/gim;

  var x = url.getContentText().match(elements);



  var res = unescape(x[0].replace(/\u/g, "%u")); // Added



  Logger.log(res)

}

Result:

When above modified script is used, as a sample, the values are converted as follows.

From:

u003cpu003eThe table below shows the number of invitations issued in the SkillSelect invitation round on 11 September 2018.u003c/pu003ennu003ch3u003eInvitations issued on 11 September 2018u003c/h3u003enn

To:

<p>The table below shows the number of invitations issued in the SkillSelect invitation round on 11 September 2018.</p>nn<h3>Invitations issued on 11 September 2018</h3>nn

References:

unescape()

replace()

If I misunderstand your question, I'm sorry.
