How to write an ampersand character in Jsoup

I'm using Jsoup to parse and modify some HTML. In certain places, I want to add a non-breaking space entity ( ) to the HTML. I assumed I could do it as in this simplified example:

Element paragraph = someDocument.select("p").first();
paragraph.text("First sentence.  Second sentence.");

But Jsoup turns my   into   effectively encoding the ampersand itself. I guess my real question is: how can I manually write an ampersand character to the text of an Element?

You are doing Element.text. If its html, use .html(String s) instead so, replace your code with

Element paragraph = someDocument.select("p").first();
paragraph.html("First sentence.  Second sentence.");

Try using the unicode value for no-breaking space.

Element paragraph = someDocument.select("p").first();
paragraph.text("First sentence.\u00a0Second sentence.");
