In my external service that is managing these strings and making the QB API calls I did two things:
1. First I HTML encoded the strings
2. Then, I base64 encoded the strings
I sent the base64 encoded string through as part of the XML payload of the addrecord API call. On the QB side I created a formula- rich text field which decodes the base64 string... the result is an HTML encoded string that displays correctly in the rich text field
