TurboTax program changing employer name after input

I am entering my W2 and the employer name contains a "&" symbol. The instructions in the program say to enter the name EXACTLY as it appears on the W2 or the return might be rejected. However after entering the name when I click through the next couple screens to return to the W2 summary it has changed the single "&" symbol to "&"

 

How do I fix this so it shows the correct name?

Don’t include the & character. Your return will be fine without it.

I have this same exact problem. This is a TurboTax software bug.  I posted in another discussion and learned of this post about the problem: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-why-will-it-not-accept-my-employer-s-name-in-box-c/01/2427343

 

I signed up for updates on when they will fix this.
