In this picture you can see it in the title of the one post. I have noticed itnin comments sections as well.

I see this nearly daily.

I remember seeing a different code on comments as well. It was something like

You are not alone.

While a little annoying, they are what are known as HTML entities: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp

& is used for ampersand (the and symbol, &) and   is for non breaking space (a line break without a space between lines/paragraphs). The link I posted lists a lot of them.

Edit: & and & come out the same way in the comments! ಠ⁠⁠೧ಠ
