If a password contains the '<' character, that character is not shown when the password is revealed in the Android app. It is shown when the entry is edited. When the password is copied to the clipboard and pasted elsewhere, the character shows up.

It shows normally on the web interface (both when viewing and editing).

Are you using the beta version by chance?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. I'm using V 2.3.0 (2173) and am signed up for the beta.

Ah.. I bet @mportune-bw knows what the issue is already, but I imagine the characters will need to be encoded before displaying... https://github.com/bitwarden/mobile/pull/686

Didn't think of that at the time ^^
