ampersand is the HTML/XML metacharacter for starting an entity, and although the standard says that entity references should include a final semicolon, HTML-handling software is more tolerant of the missing semicolon than is entirely ideal.

So it appears that the sequence &real gets overgenerously interpreted as an HTML entity equivalent to Unicode codepoint U+211C BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL R from the Letterlike Symbols block of the Mathematical Symbols, which has an alias name of "Real part".
