You could use the regex /&# (\w+);/ to get each Code point to a capturing group. Then use String.fromCodePoint method in the replacement function of replace to get the emojis like this:

const str = '&# 128079;&# 128079;&# 128079;&# 128079;'
const emojiStr = str.replace(/&# (\w+);/g, (m, c1) => String.fromCodePoint(c1))

console.log(emojiStr)

(Regex demo)

If you just want to display it on the DOM, you can just remove the space (\s) and set the escaped string to innerHTML

const str = '&# 128079;&# 128079;&# 128079;&# 128079;'
document.getElementById('display').innerHTML += str.replace(/\s/g, '')
<span id='display'></span>
