I have code html and I need to replace part of it with another html , this code is inside a div .

Code:

<div id="aba-per" class="et_pb_module et_pb_tabs tab-per et_pb_tabs_0">
    <ul class="et_pb_tabs_controls clearfix">
        <li class="et_pb_tab_0 et_pb_tab_active"><a href="#">Teste &rarr; Teste</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

I want to replace → with <br> , that is, instead of showing the arrow I need the line to be broken.

  document.getElementById("aba-per").innerHTML = texto;

<div id="aba-per" class="et_pb_module et_pb_tabs tab-per et_pb_tabs_0">
  <ul class="et_pb_tabs_controls clearfix">
    <li class="et_pb_tab_0 et_pb_tab_active"><a href="#">Teste &rarr; Teste</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>
<button onclick="teste()">teste</button>
