@Bruce This is when going directly to WordPress (that post was done manually and not via this process.) The conversion is either happening when curl executes the POST or by WordPress when it's received but I don't think it's the latter as it works when using curl via PHP.

@colinwalker Hmmm. You're using the WordPress REST API?

@Bruce That's right.

@colinwalker My initial impulse is that it's unlikely to be AppleScript. When I made my old script to transfer bookmarks from my private pinboard to my blog's pinboard, I had to encode ">" as ">" for pinboard's API. Seems odd that WordPress isn't rendering it correctly though. Especially as Micro.blog's Timeline is doing so.
