Click activity fails

Help

Scenario: bot trying to click on a user name on the portal, the target value is Ancona, Cynthia d’

First I scrape it off the screen as a table, it grabs Ancona, Cynthia d’, no issues, exactly what I expect, then I use assign to set this value to a variable and use the variable in dynamic selector as webctrl aaname=‘*“+name+”’ for click activity. Here it fails.

When I check in locals it seems robot is selecting it as Ancona, Cynthia d&apos

I need advice on how to keep the name as assigned without apostrophe getting changed to &apos.

Steps to reproduce: Scrape value off screen, click a value using scraped data as input
