How to add " " to list item text

[Naveen K Kohli]

I am try to set the text of the drop down list item as

ListItem li = new ListItem();
li.Text = " "+"MyValue";

myDropDown.Items.Add("li);

The intent is to add a spacing in front of the text. Its not doing what I am
trying to do. The text shows up as "&ampMyValue"

How can this be accomplished?
