In this picture you can see it in the title of the one post. I have noticed itnin comments sections as well.

I see this nearly daily.

I remember seeing a different code on comments as well. It was something like

    Reading that headline while on Android is hilarious.

    “On Android I see & instead of &…”

    Thank you for the giggle.

      Except, somehow, in the comments section, it comes out right! Will our torture never end?!

        Client side I’m searching for this string and replacing it, will probably have to extend it to post titles.

          That’s probably not ideal. I’d just wait until it’s fixed in Lemmy. Otherwise, if I want to write out the character entity string, I can’t. Or worse, what I write will look different to different people. That would just be a mess.

    I’ve read somewhere along the way that this is a Lemmy issue, not an app issue. I believe it’s being addressed by the devs.

      Good to know, I’m on liftoff and I see it too. I just thought that the app wasn’t bug free

    You are not alone.

    While a little annoying, they are what are known as HTML entities: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp

    & is used for ampersand (the and symbol, &) and   is for non breaking space (a line break without a space between lines/paragraphs). The link I posted lists a lot of them.

    Edit: & and & come out the same way in the comments! ಠ⁠⁠೧ಠ
