Are you using our Field Renderer API?  (See here:  https://docs.skuid.com/v11.1.1/en/skuid/api/skuid_ui.html?highlight=renderer#skuid-ui-field-renderer… ) .  These renderers should escape special characters correctly. 

If you are able to use a declarative solution by merging the field values in a tempalate  like this:  {{fieldName}} – special characters should be escaped for you. 

Am rendering the field using a custom snippet. Below is the javascript snippet running during render.

(function(skuid,$){
  var snippet = skuid.snippet,
    ui = skuid.ui;

snippet.registerSnippet(“StageFieldRenderer”, function(field,value, skipCondition){
if (field.mode === ‘edit’) {

//  Build the Options for the PICKLIST
var customOpts = ;
var playbookMasterObject = skuid.$M(‘Playbook’);
var newProject = skuid.$M(‘Project’);
skuid.$.each(playbookMasterObject.getRows(), function(i,row) {
if(skipCondition || (row.Client_Name__c === field.row.Account__r.Client_Name__c && row.Project_Type__c === field.row.Project_Type__c)){
console.log(skipCondition);
customOpts.push({
value : row.Stage__c,         // Will be stored in target object 
label : row.Stage__c        // Will display in the PICKLIST
});
}
});

//  Render the options as a PICKLIST
var customSelect = skuid.ui.renderers.PICKLIST.edit({
entries : customOpts,
required : false,
value : value
}).change(function() {
   //  Update the row in the target object
field.model.updateRow(field.row,‘Stage__c’,skuid.$(this).val());
});

//  Append the PICKLIST to the DOM element
field.element.append(customSelect);
} else {
//  If the mode is anything other than edit, display the field as Text
skuid.ui.fieldRenderers.TEXTfield.mode;
}
});
}(skuid,skuid.$));
