Summary

In a programming community, I tried to post this code in a comment:

    let utf16_data: Vec<u16> = string.encode_utf16().collect();

However Lemmy strips out <u16> and I can't seem to figure out any way to get it to output that text in a comment.

Steps to Reproduce

1. write a comment with <u16> in the contents
2. pst the comment, it won't be there

Technical Details

Chromium based browser. No errors.

What’s more: typing a single < becomes <, which isn’t properly rendered when the comment is displayed.
