Hi @samuelbachorik,

& is not a "weird" character it's an "HTML character entity references" .. Damn that a long name...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XM...references

If you plan to use the extracted data outside HTML then you could convert those character entity references into utf-8

Cheers,
