Divi Code Module Javascript Character values

Hi there,
I'm writing an English exercise for my students that uses html and javascript. In the code module I have an answer variable in <script>:

answers77[1] = "don't all agree that the term superfood is used to sell food products.";

However when I inspect the published page this is formatted to:


answers77[1] = "don&rsquo;t all agree that the term superfood is used to sell food products.";


This is not the case when outside <script>, ie in an html <form>. "don't all agree that the term superfood is used to sell food products."; remains exactly the same after the post is published.

So when the form value (with the don't ) is compared against the javascript answer (&rsquo;t) the exercise mistakenly states that the answer is incorrect.

Is there anyway of stopping this automatic formatting from happening (so that I don't need to manually go back alter all my previous exercises)? My previous non-wordpress website did not do this and so the exercises all worked well.

Cheers,
Sam
