❓ Question

I am sending this URL https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=1kCU5ThTEnbk3ltqs_TFBZVKUFYiZ3l5C&sz=w1000 but my journalctl reports this final output

{"id":"CmxIRVnmeowd","time":1765128847,"expires":1765172047,"event":"message","topic":"hometr","message":"Human detected","tags":["rotating_light"],"attachment":{"name":"thumbnail","url":"https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=1QLk2zPn27AMJdbg2KxQ0RBVUx0dPrUuh\u0026sz=w1000"}}

As you can see the character & is replaced with \u0026

How can I avoid this?
