I have a BBPress installation on my Wordpress site, and one of the posts includes this lump of text: R&ॐ pH🎭 and they render like this: "R&ॐpH🎭"
I want it to render like that on my page, but for some reason it just displays in plain text like the first instance above.
I have tried setting the follow HTML meta values in the <head> of my page:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
And the HTTP headers look like this:

Thanks for reading.
This has nothing to do with encoding. The
Ӓpart is an entitized unicode character (with1234being the code-point).To prevent it being entitized, just replace the ampersand with the ampersand entity:
&so your rendered HTML should look like this...R&&#2384; pH&#127917...which will then render like this:
