These tags will be stripped by WordPress, as if you are inserting a code directly to your post’s content.
To add special characters to your post, switch to visual editor, and then click the special character button as shown below:
Now you can select any character you want from the list.
You can also do this by using text editor. Enter <
for <
and >
for >
in text editor, so your phrase will be like:
<newline>
These are the HTML entity equivalents for your provided unicode characters.
