Site full name with & is not processed properly in any email subject. As an example, the new user email will contain the site name as the subject and if the site name includes &, it will process the '&' as '&'

Example: 

Site full name - Electronics '&' spare parts

Email subject while sending the email: Electronics '&' spare parts

P.S. '' and space used to get rid of HTML issue while posting.

It’s maybe something to do with UTF encoding, but regardless, please think about NOT using the ampersand - change it to ‘and’ for accessibility reasons. Screen readers and other accessibility devices have a difficult time recognising the ampersand.

thank you for your information jon, actually there are some sitenames for organisations which have their org name registered that way and they want the name to be displayed the same way in the email.
Looks like there should be a fix from the code itself.
