Sitemap.xml giving errors for & and &

[darshanaasodekar]

I have sitemap.xml for my site... and have some urls with '&' in it.. Urls with '&' are thrown as errors by xml... I tried replacing '&' by 'amp;' but that is also throwing error as that also is not accepted.

There are some errors that are shown in google webmaster where it has replaced '&' to '%26'.

Please help me in solving this problem..

Thanks for the answer...
I tried using non-alphanumeric characters. But the problem is.... when I replace '&' by '&' our sql injection throws an error on ';'.. So i am not able to replace it to '&'.

Is there any other way?
