In view selection source, HTML that contains escape codes like • are rendered into that character '•' instead of the text "•".

This differs in behaivour from the normal view source tool which will correctly show "•"

Reproducible: Always

1. View a page with an HTML escape code like "•"
2. Select the text with the rendered '•'
3. Right click and "View selection source"
4. Observer the '•' in the source code
Actual Results:  
Displays '•'

Expected Results:  
Display "•"
