Amiga Menus - Ampersand usage

Hello,

I am having trouble inserting an ampersand into a menu item, this is through the MUIRoyale plugin for Hollywood.

I am trying to isolate whether this is a problem with MUIRoyale itself or Intuition/AmigaOS, hopefully this can be answered quickly as its a fairly rudimentary question.

1. Is ampersand a special character? If yes...

2. What escape code should I use before special characters?

No, it's not.

I think some systems use it to denote the next character is a shortcut key, but GadTools and Intuition certainly do not.
