Emoji encoded in RSS (itunes:summary and description)

[gpapp]

Expected behavior

When using emojis in the summary field, the RSS should emit valid values.

If I put "Summary ⚡" in the summary, the RSS should contain

<description><![CDATA[Summary ⚡]]></description>
...
<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Summary ⚡]]></itunes:summary>

in the RSS.

Actual behavior

RSS contains encoded htmlentities in the CDATA section. This is overencoding. Either use CDATA or encoded characters!

If I put "Summary ⚡" in the summary, the RSS contains

<description><![CDATA[Summary &amp;#x26a1;]]></description>
...
<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Summary &amp;#x26a1;]]></itunes:summary>

in the RSS.

Converting the already HTML encoded characters back to normal solves the issue.

Would be a good idea to check that this is handled correctly everywhere, I opened a dedicated issue: #1392
