& does display correctly in Confluence

Question

In Jira - I have Components like "T&T" attached to a ticket

Then I use table toolbar in Confluence to pull data/tickets from Jira to create tables in Confluence.

But we have recently noticed that when we pull in “component” from Jira, the “&” sign doesn’t display correctly on Confluence, it was not an issue before July 2023.

In Confluence table, the component T&T is displayed as "“T&T”

Have you seen this problem or know the solution?

Hi @JHu welcome to the community!  I took a look at Atlassian's Jira site (jira.atlassian.com) and found some that look similar, but not exactly the same.  This sounds like something with the encoding changed and now is a problem.

If you want, you could get support's opinion and open a ticket.  (support.atlassian.com/contact) and they might be able to point to the right ticket, or can assist with any workarounds they might be aware of.  Or, they could open a new ticket for you.  Obviously, changing the component name would be a workaround.

But I'll leave that up to you.  Hope that helps.
