Reviews submitted in the review pane are stored as decoded in the database.

Comments on ArcGIS Online items submitted on ArcGIS Online are stored as encoded values rather than decoded ones.  In this application, when using the review pane to submit a review, it stores the review in the database with the comments from ArcGIS Online.  When the comments from the review pane are submitted, they are stored as decoded values rather than encoded as the ones from ArcGIS Online are stored.  To be consistent, the modification allows for the reviews submitted from this application to be stored the same way as the comments from ArcGIS Online are stored in the database, encoded.

Finally, I do not see this as being a critical enhancement other than keeping the comments from ArcGIS Online and the reviews submitted from the application consistent.  That being said, if a user does mistakenly enter their percentage for a value in front of their number it would be decoded by ArcGIS Online as a special character rather than the percentage value for the number they wanted to enter.
