Description

### Type of issue

Code doesn't work

### Description

When using SecurityElement.Escape, escaping the string `"007 > 60 KV"` returns the following:
`"007 > 60 KV"`
instead of
`"007 > 60 KV"`

In other words, the result when escaping the `>` character should be `>` but it seems to be escaping the result once the `>` has been escaped.

I have not tried it with other escape characters with ampersand.
