Special characters are being added while saving data in CRM

[Munavvar-Husein]

We have a requirement to replace our HTML control on CRM portal entity form by ckeditor and update ckeditor value in CRM.
Also, it should look with proper HTML in CRM form.

But, in our case where, on 'Submit' button we are setting the value of ckeditor in our CRM field by using setData() function. But it is adding some special characters say for example : for '<' it is storing lt; , for '>' it is storing gt; ,etc. which should not happen.

Please find the attached images. This may help to get a clear idea.

Can you help us to fix this.
