Been noticing on term stores that if you enter an ampersand, SharePoint replaces the "&" with "＆". I couldn't see anything different about it when inspecting the HTML or looking at it on Notepad++ with the "show all characters" turned on. So I'm assuming it has to do with different encoding.
It's not recognized as a regular ampersand by Server.HtmlEncode() nor by String.IndexOf(). Ended up doing a specific String.Replace("＆","&") on it so the other functions could work with it.
Difficult to Google for "＆", but did find some reference to ampersands on SharePoint 2010: Are Ampersands Stored Differently in SharePoint 2010 Than SharePoint 2007?
