How to use special characters in XML

Question

I am writing a query in XML in my SSRS report. I can use "& lt;"(less than) without any problem but not able to use "& le;" CData also doesn't work in my query it gets completely ifnored (less than equal).Any suggestions?

Answer 1

What character(s) were you hoping that ≤ would refer to?

(Perhaps "<="? or perhaps "≤"?)

You can either define an entity that expands ≤ to the required character(s), or you can enter the required characters in the file directly, in place of the entity reference.

Answer 2

Try using escaped sequence for less than equal to like below

<=
