Hello Are: My view to your problem is limited. However, I would attempt first to decipher the default 'coding'.
Unicode-8 or Unicode-16 would, perhaps, allow a different '&' representation than the 'current' replacement that you are now experiencing. For example, from my copy of 'Babel Map<http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html>', I see a potential 'hex' replacement of '&' and a potential 'decimal' replacement of '&'. The 'UCN <http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/>' replacement referring back to the 'utf-8' and 'utf-16' formats returns a replacement of '\u0026'. Either way you slice it, you are attempting to place a 'server' character inside of a 'client' view. You will need a 'method' that can toggle back to '&' prior to presenting the valid mark-up back to the client screen. Perhaps embedded in a returned 'CDATA' statement to isolate the machine character(s). The Ruby <http://rubyzero.wordpress.com> programming language has some interesting methods of converting 'to_string', to_int', etc. I will point there and if I see a potential solution, I will return a 'flag' to you (and, most probably, upload the solution to the 'blog' server. Sorry...I am not all the wizard I am made out to be. But, I try.
