Some characters are encoded. I've never used domit but I have used php5's DOM.
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.dom.php

To get them back to the characters simple run it through
htmlspecialchars_decode
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars-decode.php

If your still using PHP4 use this instead.
function htmlspecialchars_decode_PHP4($uSTR)
{
return strtr($uSTR, array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES,
ENT_QUOTES)));
}

I've not personally tested it but it's found on that page.
