Comment:

 > The problem is that the editor is escaping the arrow because it thinks
 it's HTML.

 That's because it *is* HTML. The text editor is a simple HTML editor where
 you're not required to wrap your paragraphs in `<p>`'s
 Switching between modes will encode the character's you've added. Same
 happens for `&` for example.

 I'm not sure if it would be better to preserve the user input and encode
 before outputting on the front-end.
