Undo a view->escape() in zend framework

Question

Is there a way to undo the effect of an escape after it's been done. I'm using $this->view->escape() on multiple values, but there's one value I don't actually want to escape. Is there a way to literally reverse the effect on an escape after it's been done?

Edit: I think this is correct now.

By default, the escape() method uses the PHP htmlspecialchars() function for escaping.

from http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.scripts.html

htmlspecialchars_decode

to convert special HTML entities back to characters: http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars-decode.php
