What

Claude Code cleans up some text by replacing characters that only look like < or > with the real symbols. That list now covers more characters:

  • U+2991 to U+2994
  • U+2A79 and U+2A7A
  • U+2AA6 and U+2AA7

Each of these is now turned into a plain < or >.

Why

Text that looks like a markup tag, such as <tag>, can be filtered. Someone could try to slip such a tag past the filter by writing it with lookalike brackets. Converting more of these characters closes off more of those tricks.
