    They show as & on the mobile web interface for various instances. I would say it’s something improperly done with what are called HTML entities. HTML entities are a way of encoding various elements that have meaning in HTML so they can be displayed, without being interpreted as HTML by the browser, which could not only break a layout but have security implications. So the titles are sanitized to prevent injection attacks but somehow are not stored/output in a way that they display properly.
