 Hi,

 When an Author/other user(who have Create post permission) creates a post
 and add a post title as `Hello & Welcome to WordPress` after save the post
 the post title is stored as `Hello & Welcome to WordPress` in DB. As
 this is stored like this it is showing same in the editor. This is
 happening with Excerpt also.

 **NB: This is not happening with Admin user or if you are using Gutenberg
 Editor.**

 Reproduce Steps:

 1. Disable your gutenberg editor and enable classic editor.
 2. Logged in as an Author.
 3. Switch to a non block based theme. (skip if your theme is not block
 based)
 4. Go to Post > Add New
 5. Add Post Title, Excerpt as `Hello & Welcome to WordPress`
 6. Save Post
 7. You will see `Hello & Welcome to WordPress` as title
