Medium Editor Input > DB but when I then display that 'text' field on the page, it's full of random code and ilegible

Hi all,

I know this is a commonly used component, so wondering what is the workaround for this, or if this might well be a bug?

The input was imply a copy/paste of the same words just for dummy data. Then when I try to bind that field from the DB onto the page, this is what I get:

Any ideas on what I need to do differently?
