Adding symbol in json files

I have not been able to add a “&” symbol in a “page-info.json” file as a text.

Example:

“copy”: “Click here to request design, video & layout support”

Please note:

The & symbol worked in other page-info.json project files before (React, Carbon).

However, for some reason, the “&” symbol appears (when using shift+7) in VSCODE, but is not appearing in the page preview itself.

I’ve tried using (backslash&) and (&amp 😉 already, but is not working either.

The only option that worked was using the command Control + Command + Spacebar keys in order to use the “&” as an emoji. The thing is … the emoji disappears when changing the responsive layout.

Could someone please help me?

Thanks in advance.
