There are only three options.
1. That is *not* what you have stored in the database, it's being
escaped on the way in.
2. You aren't displaying what *is* stored in the database, it's being
escaped on the way out.
3. You are rendering it as text, not HTML

Break your problem into pieces and test each in turn. Store exactly that
string and check it with psql. Examine exactly what you have when you
read it from the database. Display two copies - one you have from the
database and one you manually set in a variable. Do they differ?
