Uncheck the "Use Grep" checkbox in the find dialog. If you are using grep, "&" means the match that was found by the search (in this case the registration mark).

If you are using grep and want an actual ampersand in the replace, you can escape it by putting a slash in front of it in the replace string, i.e. \®

I've been using BBEdit for a long time and have always been able to replace text with the equivalent ISO tag, (e.g. ® [registration mark] with ®). Updating to 8.2.5, the & [ampersand] is red in the replace field and is not used in the replacement so the result is ®reg;. Is there something new in the application preferences that can allow the ampersand to be used in replacing or something else I can do?
