Excerpt from https://carrois.com/downloads/fira_4_1/Fira_4_1_Version_Report.rtf "version/build 4.100: _ re-introduce curly ampersand in Italic; also added it in Roman. Accessible via .ss03 OR type ‚ #& ’ (replacement via calt feature)" That means, the # character will not be displayed for modern browsers, leading to confusion if it is escaped. If you copy the characters it will be okay. To remedy this, simply change the order of the characters, e.g. &#;`|... works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72921&edit=1
