You just need to add the global flag (g) to your replace code like it was a regex:

text = $('div').html();
text = text.replace(/»/g,'');
$('div').html(text);

replace when passed a string only replaces the first instance. You must use a regular expression instead.

text = $('div').html();
text = text.replace(/»/g,'');
$('div').html(text);
