Comment:

 `htmlentities()` function decodes special characters to their
 corresponding HTML entities.
 So, when I tried

 {{{
 $tag_name_value = htmlentities( $tag->name );
 }}}

 instead of

 {{{
 $tag_name_value = esc_attr( $tag->name );
 }}}

 in `wp-admin/edit-tag-form.php` (''line no. 123''), it brings up the
 actual database (raw) value in the field. On saving back it retains the
 value in database without any issue.

 However, under `quick-edit` section, the value added to the texbox is the
 on-screen rendered value rather than the actual database (raw) value.

 File: `wp-admin/js/inline-edit-tax.js`
 Line no: `137`

 {{{
 val = $('.name', rowData);
 val = val.text();
 }}}

 If we use a hidden field in list view and put the raw value in it, and
 then use this in Quick-Edit title textbox, it will probably resolve the
 issue.

 Something like:

 {{{
 val = $('.name-raw', rowData);
 val = val.text();
 }}}
