Greater Than and Less Than symbols are basic elements in web page coding, so thus hard to express on the web page.
Normally, there is a series of five specific characters > you can use to show a Greater Than symbol on a web page, but unfortunately this does not work in the Polling Questions.
GoTo does allow you to enter the Unicode, Hex , and HTML Entity codes for the Greater Than symbol, but when you run the poll, you see the code, not the desired symbol.
Hopefully, someone at GoTo has a solution for this.

We think the reason for the behavior you see there is due to a conflict with the web coding. There are some characters and phrases that have been known to confuse the system in this way.
