This may be related to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10289022/unable-to-type-ampersand-in-selenium-2
I have experienced this issue as well, however I have noticed that the ampersand fails
to be sent only to certain <input> elements. According to the above link it is only
<input> elements that use an JQuery UI Autocomplete API, and not regular <input< elements.
Steps to Reproduce:
(1). browser.get("http://www.google.com");
(2). browser.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("Send&KeyTest");
(3). Assert.assertTrue(browser.findElement(By.name("q")).getAttribute("value").equals("Send&KeyTest");
(4). browser.get("http://www.amazon.com");
(5). browser.findElement(By.id("twotabsearchtextbox")).sendKeys("Send&KeyTest");
(6). Assert.assertTrue(browser.findElement(By.id("twotabsearchtextbox")).getAttribute("value").equals("Send&KeyTest"));
Expected result:
Both Assert statements should pass, and both search boxes should contain the string
"Send&KeyTest".
Actual result:
The first assert statement passes but the second fails. Specifically the google search
box contains "Send&KeyTest" and the second statement contains "SendKeyTest".
Note that manually typing the ampersand character into the search bar works.

Also the "(" character is affected. No other special characters appear to be affected.

I am also seeing this problem via the Geb testing tool that uses WebDriver. When I try
to send a string containing the & character to an input field, the & is removed. I
haven't found a way to escape it to prevent this from happening. I've tried:
\&
\\&
&&

I also experience the issue using angularjs/protractor on an auto complete input.
Browser: Firefox 29.0 / Firefox 29.0.1
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 / Windows 8
Selenium: 2.41.0 / 2.40.0
Issue: & character is simply omitted in Firefox auto complete inputs.
Works well on a "normal" input (non auto-complete) in Firefox
Works well on any input in: Chrome 34, IE11, IE10.

Any workaround this ?
I am having the same issue as well with Firefox and Protractor.

This still fails on Linux / FF 33 (and passes in Chrome)
driver.get 'http://dir.indiamart.com'
el = driver['search_string']
el.send_keys '(&)'
expect(el.attribute('value')).to eq '(&)'
expected: "(&)"
got: ")"

My requirement was to type "R&d" in a text field, tried below code and it worked.
textBox.sendKeys("R/&d")
textBox.sendKeys(Keys.LEFT);
textBox.sendKeys(Keys.LEFT);
textBox.sendKeys(Keys.BACK_SPACE);

I am also seeing this problem with Firefox 31.6.0 and 37.0.1 and selenium 2.45.0 on
Linux when attempting to type into a Select2 control that performs a search as the
user types in to the search box. I believe it also uses jquery under the hood. The
problem does NOT occur when using Chromium.

I just experienced similar problem with tilde ~ character. Using Chrome 43.0.2357.134
m and Selenium 2.45.0 on Windows 8. It just doesn't get sent to text field, all other
special characters from my keybord work fine.
