The &
symbol becomes amp
in the draft URL

An existing feature does not function as intended
Description
When you type
Ampersand & And
as the title of an Post and save the Post as a draft, you will see that the URL becomes/ampersand-amp-and/
. If you publish the Post, the URL becomes/ampersand-and/
.I was originally going to write this issue asking if it was necessary to add
amp
to the URL, because from an SEO point of view it makes no sense and just unnecessarily lengthens the URL. However, during initial testing, when publishing the Post, the URL became/ampersand-and/
.Now, I wonder if this may cause confusion to other people. If this is a bug or if it makes any sense for
amp
to appear in the URL, even if only in drafts. Also, it is not the same with%
,$
,#
,@
, or others. For example, if you writeAmpersand & And % One # Two $ Three @ Four
the URL of the draft will be/ampersand-amp-and-one-two-three-four/
