Is your HTML like this:

<input id="txt_rename123" type="text" value="Hanako&#60;">

HTML replaces entities in attribute values, so if you want a literal & you have to write:

<input id="txt_rename123" type="text" value="Hanako&amp;#60;">

I have a question. My database is store this string which is "Hanako&#60;". True or Not?

Yes. If you always want to show entities explicitly, you have to store them literally.
