I am having trouble using jquery to remove the character "»" from an element. My code is below:

HTML:

```
<div>» <span>something</span></div>  

```

Jquery:

```
var v = $j("span").html().replace("»",'');
$j("span").html(v)

```

jsfiddle: <http://jsfiddle.net/aPBYv/2/>

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
