Can someone please tell me what &amp means or stands for?

It's a short cut for "and". Red and Blue same as Red & Blue. Bed and Breakfast same as Bed & Breakfast

I see it occasionally on another forum when someone replies to a thread on a mobile device.

@Mike M. Why not just type “and” instead of “&”? Very confusing for newbies. 3 characters instead of 5. I finally had to do a search for “&” to understand what I was missing in all the posts I was reading.

@Rob B.Thank you for asking this question. Now I know & understand. Lol

ampersand = & (Didn't know this was a real estate term LOL)

It's just some code that did not display properly on your screen. It's the script for "&" that did not translate properly, possibly because of the font used or something. Since "&" is actually a symbol, and not letters. Not a big deal.

It did it again the letters amp what does it mean

I know what & means, sorry the whole question didn’t get posted so here it is. &amp. ?

Not a real estate term. It’s an HTML code for ampersand. You shouldn’t be seeing it, but something between the forum, the back-end database, and maybe the mobile app aren’t talking quite right.
