Browsers convert my ASCII fine when webpage is set to

However, my AJAX app has too many cases with

var myASCII = "&#x00FC;";
document.createTextNode(myASCII);

In this case or similar, such as option.text = myASCII; for select
object, browsers fail to convert ASCII to HTML.

The createTextNode method takes a DOM string, in JavaScript that is
simply a JavaScript string so try
document.createTextNode("ü")
or
document.createTextNode(String.fromCharCode(0xFC))
or
document.createTextNode("\u00FC")

The &#x00FC; syntax is a numeric character reference meant for an HTML
or XML parser. createTextNode does not do any HTML or XML parsing.

Yes, Unicode works well: document.createTextNode("\u00FC"). However,
my strings look like:

var myASCII = "Do not remove text &#x00FC; and do not remove text,
blah blah";
document.createTextNode(myASCII);

and there are plenty of different strings containing all possible
ASCII values. What would you recommend in that case. Is it possible to
convert all ASCII to Unicode, then?
