Corrputed discussion thread subjects and content while using Lithium Rest API

Greetings.

Has anyone seen corrupted data, such as subject line malformation shown below, while accessing Lithium discussion messages or root discussion threads? The original message looks clean on the source lithium community site; however, I am wondering whether it gets corrupted while in transit or during some kind of xml transformation.

Best,

Devadas
