Firefox JSON Viewer opened for the html entites JSON file
We can see the various properties of the JSON file, which are all objects containing a "characters" and a "codepoints" properties.
The Console is opened at the bottom. In it, we can see a console message explaining that some data is available (`$json.data` - the parsed JSON object, $json.text` - the original JSON text and `$json.headers` - HTTP request and response headers)

There's a console evaluation done with the following snippet:

```js
Object.entries($json.data)
    .filter(([k, v]) => v.codepoints.length > 1)
    .map(([k, v]) => ({characters: v.characters, htmlEntity: k, codepoints: v.codepoints}))

```

and the result shows an array of objects containing "characters", "htmlEntity" and "codepoints" properties.

The @firefoxdevtools.bsky.social JSON viewer got better in @firefoxnightly.bsky.social : the console offers access to the original json data via `$json`.
This allows to easily manipulate the underlying data to get what you want
