Can not html entity decode of string in laravel5 blade view

I use Php7.0 and Laravel 5.0 and want to initiate a var in javascript on blade page.

But html_entity_decode function can not decode the special chars.

userName =  ""
console.log(userName);

I would like to see " ' < > but it gives me " ' < >

While checkin in db I can see correctly.

Any ideas?
