I’m trying to use the special character "&" in my wordpress menu items. For example having a menu item called "Call & Contact". The issue is the "&" get sign gets converted to "&". I’m not sure if this is a WordPress specific issue or it’s my theme (roots / sage 10).

I"m not 100% sure if that is to solve your problem since there is limited info have been provided but i assumed problem occurs because of your theme and its paginate_links() function.
So what you can try is to add this code to your functions.php file but please do that either in a child theme or with a snippet plugin (easier) because if you copy it somehow wrong your website will crash.
Let me know if it helps. If it doesn’t simply delete the code so it doesn’t load unnecessarily.
Try typing
&
in your menu text (in place of the & symbol) and see if that helps.If you use windows you can use
Windows Key + .
to open emoji popup but you can use&
for type & character
