Comment:

 I just tried publishing a post by adding this to a Paragraph block:

 {{{
 &
 
 }}}

 In the code view in the editor, the content is:


 {{{
 <!-- wp:paragraph -->
 <p>&amp;<br>&#22;</p>
 <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
 }}}

 When looking at the RSS feed, the content appears as:


 {{{
 <content:encoded><![CDATA[
 <p>&amp;<br>&#22;</p>
 ]]></content:encoded>
 }}}

 This seems to be what you are expecting?
