----------------------------------------

Thanks [~rmallah] for reporting this issue.

Hi team,

Special character in the product name is shown due to HTML escaping in the code.

ofbiz/applications/product/template/product/EditProductContent.ftl at line 48
{code:java}
<input type="text" name="productName" value="${(product.productName?html)!}" size="30" maxlength="60"/>
{code}
This change was intentional, done by Jacques many years ago at [r490268|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/3a9cf63564e4a29eff76b70cba4933ac846cb08f92648b021cb61726@1167115681@%3Ccommits.ofbiz.apache.org%3E] to fix an issue.
 I guess this change was done to protect from Script Injection Attacks.

IMO, trusted authorized users have permission to change the product attributes (here name), so I think we can remove the Auto-escaping of HTML, i.e.
{code:java}
<input type="text" name="productName" value="${(product.productName)!}" size="30" maxlength="60"/>
{code}
I would like to know the community thoughts on removing HTML escaping from this code, thank you!
