Why does outlook for windows remove "&" from the title of an .ICS file?

Viewed 11

When saving a calendar event as an ICS file using Outlook for windows, it removes the ampersand from the title (ex title of "SL&D - 201" is saved as "SLD - 201.ics")

This is not replicated on outlook for mac. When exporting the same event it retains the ampersand. The changed file name works when opening on a mac but does not when opening the file on a PC. (see Table)

Created From Event Name File Name Opens on Mac Opens on PC
PC SL&D - 201 SLD - 201.ics Yes No
Mac SL&D - 201 S&LD - 201.ics Yes Yes

Currently working around it by having the mac user save the files and use those to distribute, but extremely curious as to why this is happening.

Thanks in advance!
