To address the issue with extra symbols appearing when using hyperlinks in the bot description, follow these steps:

1. Verify Known Issues:

   • A similar issue has been reported where extra symbols or markdown syntax appear in Adaptive Cards in Microsoft Teams due to unsupported markdown in certain elements (e.g., markdown rendering in Input.Toggle).

2. Provide Context:

   • Development environment: VS Code, CLI
   • Teams Toolkit version: Specify the version you are using.
   • Reproduction steps: Include a clear sequence of steps to reproduce the issue.
   • Error logs: Share relevant error logs if available.

3. Workarounds and Recommendations:

   • Switch Element Types: Use TextBlock instead of Input.Toggle or similar elements for rendering hyperlinks.
   • User Mention Markdown: If using Adaptive Cards, use mentions or supported markdown in TextBlock as shown below.

Sample AdaptiveCard JSON:

{
  "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
  "version": "1.3",
