VALUES 
    (34,'"'),
    (38,'&'),

FROM
    @htmlNames
;

SELECT @resultString;
-- Output: &test"<String>"&

DECLARE @temp varchar(max) = '';
WHILE @resultString != @temp
BEGIN
    SET @temp = @resultString;

    SELECT
        @resultString = Replace(@resultString COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS, htmlName, NCHAR(asciiDecimal))
