EDIT: My initial response was incorrect. Use the numbered HTML escape (in this case ®) to get those characters into the sitemap.

Just put ® instead of what you have. The & is being escaped and then it just outputs the characters reg; because that isn't an HTML escape code.

Ah, I see. Do '®' instead. Just tried it locally and it worked for me.

Thank you, it worked. Can you update your answer so it's clear :D. Thank's again.
