ToDoMVC bug: Special characters showing as code/strange text instead of symbol

[ItsKatieColeman]

When typing the special characters (&, “”, ‘’, /, <>) I am getting an unexpected result.

Expected to see: & “ ‘ / <>

Actual:

Steps to reproduce:

• go to https://todomvc.com/examples/react/dist/
• in the "what needs to be done?" box, enter: & “ ‘ / <> *should return:

  & " ' / <>

Severity: Medium - doesn't break site

Likelihood: Medium - some users could use these characters in their todo lists, this would be a confusing result

Priority: Medium - no threat but could make users not want to use this app

I like this report, and how it illustrates a number of characters which aren't rendering properly at the moment.

If I could make just one suggestion, it would be to use a slightly more real-world example - currently a developer might look at this and go "well, nobody's going to create & “ ‘ / <> as a todo item". Whereas if you showed what happens when you try to type Clean kitchen/bathroom (as per your video) then it does a good job of highlighting why this is a problem - the things you hinted at in the likelihood/priority.
