Unicode / Character Reference displaying in ng-option

More Info

ng-select version: 1,3.0 browser: Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (32-bit) reproducible in demo page: NO

<ng-select placeholder="Please select a Category" (change)="toggleCategories($event)"> <ng-option *ngFor="let i of cat_group" [value]="i.id" >{{ i.name }}</ng-option> </ng-select>

Results from console.log(this.cat_group); {id: 6, name: “House & Home”, category_type: “XX”} {id: 8, name: “Lifestyle & Tourism”, category_type: “YY”} {id: 4, name: “cat & cat”, category_type: “ZZ”}

I was using checkboxes up to now, and moving to a dropdown list so trying out ng-select.

Any ideas?

@ElangoAS This solution worked for me:

<ng-select placeholder="Please select a Category" (change)="toggleCategories($event)" bindValue="id">
    <ng-template ng-label-tmp let-item="item">
        {{item.name}}
    </ng-template>
</ng-select>

Any work around for the above issue? I have ng-select and I am iterating through items
