I don't know that jquery plugin so I can't say how to configure that ...
But CI doesn't convert into entities - active record just escapes your
input but that is not your problem.
If you don't get it to work with that plugin you could use CKEditor for
example and show/hide the rte with jquery in case you don't want to display
it by default.
