Which CMS are you using? Often a WYSIWYG editor like CKEditor will auto-escape any characters you enter that have specific meaning in HTML. The ampersand is one of these. There may be a little [html] button in the CMS interface, where you can enter that character escape code explicitly, but you may also be able to get away with using the Unicode character for a right arrow. To access that, try using the little [your country] flag icon in the top right of your main menu bar, pulling down to the Character Viewer. (If you don’t see that option, be sure to enable it in the International pane of the System Preferences.) Then you should be able to type that character by locating it in the character map, and double-clicking it while you have a blinking text insertion point. →
No. You could send an e-mail containing the character to him or her so that copy and paste could be used. That might work, but you’d have to test it out.

Hi Walter
Thanks. The Unicode character works for me.
(I’m using Surreal - which I’m enjoying so far - with UTF-8)
I know this is a pain, but I don’t suppose you know how my client using a Windows PC can access the right arrow unicode character?
To be complete – there is a way to enter this character on Windows, but it involves typing in an escape code on the Windows computer – not unlike what you have to do in non-Unicode HTML. I don’t know what the escape code is, or how you engage that mode from the Windows keyboard, but it’s probably documented somewhere. Try Googling Windows Unicode escape sequence or something like that.
