Usage of predefined entities in SVG without "Outline Text" option

Hey guys!

Just found out that predefined entities ( " , & , ' , < and >) MAY NOT be used in SVG, not this way, not using Unicode

Right now if you try to export some text as SVG without “Outline Text” option, Figma will export SVG and replace predefined entities with Unicode values which will not work, any SVG parser will throw an error

Would be awesome if Figma would replace these characters with allowed ones:
" => &quot;
& => &amp;
' => &apos;
< => &lt;
> => &gt;

You can read more about it here

Please let me know if you need some more info!

Thanks!
