Rendering bug of HTML entity in hover text for tags guidance.

There is a problem with HTML entities in the tag guidance text.

As you can see [here](https://electrical.codidact.com/categories/26/tags/2925) I used an HTML entity (greek lowercase phi &phi;) to denote a technical quantity, and it shows nicely:

However in the hover text in tagged questions it appears not rendered, i.e. as `&phi;`, as you can see here:

Can you reproduce this? If it is not something related to my browser, it's probably a bug.
