Escaping Characters in Object Names

Within DQ+ there is a subset of characters that aren't recommended for utilization within "object name" fields. If utilized, they will appear to display as a UNICODE string, or will get escaped.

The list of characters that cannot be utilized within the "object name" field(s) are :

This is expected behavior. As a workaround the team may type "less than" as opposed to utilizing the "less than" ( < ) character.
