it’s partially RichText formatting, partially unknown one. Weird.

yeah, &#39; is the escaped version of an apostrophe (') in html. this bug affects “escaped characters”, including <, >, ", & as &lt; &gt;, &quot; and &amp;

it appears (for me at least) that this “double-encoding” only happens when the sending user first sends the message - when i close and reopen the window, the symbols appear correctly.

the same effect happens in the “preview” box for the chat. it fixes itself with a reload.

Can confirm, opened Roblox again and the characters are now in the chat window.

Still, shouldn’t even be a thing. :frowning_face:
