The CNAM-fix AGI examines the CNAM (name) portion of the Caller*ID
and looks for HTML Entities, a string of special characters like
&
and substitutes them with a single ASCII character.
Even though this is about as simple as asterisk AGI's can be, I decided to
publish it. Even if you don't use it as is,
the bash script can be easily modified.
I have a SIP provider that offers CNAM, but occasionally I would get
garbage characters on my phone's display. Problem solved.

Untar's into current (./) directory:
cnam-fix.agi.tar.gz
install via "tar xzvf cnam-fix.agi.tar.gz -C /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/"
The cnam-fix.agi file should have
"chmod 755"
permissions.
View the source as text:
cnam-fix.agi.txt
Accessing this AGI from your extensions.conf dialplan is quite simple.
Find a spot in the flow of an incomming call and place
in this single line of code:
exten => s,n,AGI(cnam-fix.agi)
At that point, if the name portion of your Caller*ID contained an HTML Entity it
would be replaced with a single ASCII character.
