Issue when writing code by using the <code> block

Looks like these are not being translated to proper UTF characters (?), and instead are just being cut when the post is sent.

Requires some investigating to see if this is going to be a concern.. Code tag could be almost useless with this flaw.

be able to reproduce this issue.
Tags that should appear on the screen should be re-written by using entities for opening and closing brackets.
For eg:

• '<' should be rewritten in '&lt;'
• '>' should be rewritten in '&gt;'

like the visual editor does when you paste content with tags.

btw, the HTML editor of WordPress is suffering the same issue.

I guess there isn't a simple workaround for this issue, since we can't rewrite tags easily. How we can detect when a tag should be rewritten?

edit: I think we can rewrite every left/right arrows in a "code" block by using entities when uploading the post to the server.
