Comment:
> This doesn't really have anything to do with Jetpack. The problem is
that the editor is escaping the arrow because it thinks it's HTML.
In both the editor and the saved post_content the "context" is HTML.
Having non-encoded HTML special chars is invalid there.
> It's a problem because it's changing what is saved. While the visually
it appears the same on the front end, it appears as more code in the text
editor which can be unsettling to non coders. Plus anything that is using
the arrow specifically as a character breaks. It shouldn't be getting
changed in the first place.
When using the Text editor you can save invalid HTML. That editor is
targeted at users who prefer to type/edit HTML by hand. On the other hand
the Visual editor is for users who don't want to code HTML by hand. It is
not acceptable to produce invalid HTML from there.
