How to replace “ in a string?

JavaScript
1

I want to remove the left double quote (“) but had no luck. Is there a solution?

<p>“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.”</p>

var html = document.getElementsByTagName('p')[0].innerHTML;
html = html.replace("“", "");

This seems to work as advertised on the tin, for me.

Could there be something else causing the problem?
