Special characters displaying incorrectly on request compared to db

At a glance

The community members are discussing an issue where special characters like < and > are being encoded in a database. They suspect it may be a Baserow or Webstudio issue. The comments suggest inspecting variables, checking column configurations, and examining the data in Baserow. Eventually, a community member finds that the issue is with the data in Baserow, and that the rich text feature is hiding the elements' real style.
