Display special characters in page

I'm having one div which will display some text. I'm getting this text from DB. This text can contains special characters like "\",">","<" etc. When I'm trying to display this text in my page, these special characters wont be visible in my page for obvious reasons. So how to handle this situation.

Write a function on java side which will convert all these or expected special characters and will return to front end.

e.g.

function String convert(String var){
var.replace(/&/g,"&amp;").replace(/>/g,"&gt;");
}

Since you have mentioned database, I am assuming that you have Java involved...

That being said, you can take a look at Apache's StringEscapeUtils and escape your strings accordingly.
