Remove unique multiple words from string

I am getting multiple strings from ajax response so there I am getting a strange string which is repeating many times .I try removing it but it didn't work Can Anyone help me out with this problem Here is the string which I am getting in the output

user =  "[\u0026quot;aniket\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;shivam\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;alambagh churah\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;Jyoti tiwari chatur\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;A-12121\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;[email protected]\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;ANC-22\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;Ahdada-2\u0026quot;, nil, \u0026quot;mobile appli\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;hari tiwari\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;121221\u0026quot;]"

I need to remove \u0026quot; from my string .. When I do puts "#{user.classs}" It says String

I tried using gsub but it didn't work for me or maybe I am not using it properly

user.gsub!('\u0026quot;', '')

I am sending response from my ajax call function download_csv(user_Data){ //alert(user_Data) //in this basically i am getting the data and from //here I am sending to my controller 

$.ajax({
  url: "users/download",
  type: "POST",
  data: {user_Data: duser_Datata},
  dataType: "text",

  complete: function(){
  },
  success: function(data,xhr){

  },
  error: function(){
    alert('ajax error')
  } 
})

}

I thing you need to use this rgx with gsub will help, if you need to modify the original string use gsub!.

s = "["aniket", "shivam", "alambagh churah", "Jyoti tiwari chatur", "A-12121", "[email protected]", "ANC-22", "Ahdada-2", nil, "mobile appli", "hari tiwari", "121221"]"

s.gsub(/\\u0026quot;/, "")

# => "["aniket", "shivam", "alambagh churah", "Jyoti tiwari chatur", "A-12121", "[email protected]", "ANC-22", "Ahdada-2", nil, "mobile appli", "hari tiwari", "121221"]"

Try to use user.gsub!("\u0026quot;", '')

'escape sequence' does not work in single quote string.
