    First context: I’m using custom fields (field type WYSIWYG Editor) to set the meta description of certain pages, for which I’m currently using this code:

    <meta name="description" content="<?php $descripcionschema0 = strip_tags(get_field(name_customfield)); $descripcionschema = str_replace('<br />', ', ', $descripcionschema0); echo preg_replace('/[^\p{L}\p{N}\s]/u', '', $descripcionschema); ?>">

    Now the problem is I noticed I’m getting unicode values for certain characters in the meta descriptions like double quotes. Example: “…text 8220 more text” , how can I replace all unicode values and or further improve this code?

    Update: trying 

    <meta name="description" content="<?php echo apply_filters( 'the_excerpt', get_field( 'fieldname' ));">

    See if this works:

    <meta name="description" content="<?php 
    $description_raw = get_field('name_customfield');
    $description_html = html_entity_decode($description_raw);
    $description_stripped = strip_tags($description_html);
    $description_encoded = htmlspecialchars($description_stripped, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
    echo $description_encoded;
?>">
