%26%2339%3B translates to '. You seem to misunderstand the principle of HTML entities / url encoding.

The following table describes what's going to happen:

href= *        Property     URL-decoded 
%26%2339%3B    #26%2339%3B  '        
%27            %27          '            
'          '            '            
'              '            '            Safe ONLY IF `href` is not marked with '
                                                    (as in `<a href='...'..'>`)

*href        = Literal attribute value, as seen when viewing the source
*Property    = The real value of the attribute, after parsing HTML
*URL-decoded = As received at the server's side, or through   decodeURI

So, use ', %27 or &#39; instead of %26%2339%3B.
