  I forgot the link to the test page where I go into the visual editor.

  Thank you, now it is clear. I was guessing something like that, actually.

  I’ve also tried (amp)#9001; and (amp)#x2329; with the same result as rang; and lang;

  With the Visual browser, the html entities added in Text view (e.g. (amp)lang;) are converted to UTF-8 characters. The browser does this through a bit of Javascript.

  We tested a few different scenarios and it appears this is browser-dependent. Chrome/Safari incorrectly converted those particular entities while Firefox retained the correct ones. It doesn’t appear there’s a way for us to force the correct mapping at this time.

  In the mean time, we suggest publishing straight from the Text editor or try it with Firefox.

  Does that match what y’all are seeing too?

  Thanks!
