Steps to reproduce the problem

Create a text custom field in Joomla 3. Insert a text with a special character in an article, for example ‘Price: EUR 10 > million’. save the article. The entered value is displayed correctly. Migrate the website to Joomla 4 and then to Joomla 5.

Expected result

The content in custom fields is displayed correctly.

Actual result

The filter ‘safe HTML’ is applied to the text field mentioned above. This cleans the existing values in custom fields, the above example then reads ‘Price: EUR million’.
