most likely that _is_ teh correct character but you are just being shown
a ? as your editor doesn't inderstand teh unicode encoding used, or
hasn't the font.

CDATA is _just_ a shorthand to avoid quoting each & and < it makes them
non-specials. so that is identical input to the system as

<td>&amp;#21040;/td><td>5/1/02</td>

the system might output it using &amp; or CDATA, whichever way you input
it.

well, it is parsed to look for ]]> to end it, but basically that's all,
yes. In particular the & is justtaken as an ampersand, it does not start
a character reference inside a CDATA section.
