**Kibana version** : 7.5.2

**Elasticsearch version** : 7.5.2

**APM Server version** : 7.5.2

**APM Agent language and version** : APM RUM Angular [0.4.3](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@elastic/apm-rum-angular/v/0.4.3)  
I wanted to report some feedback on the recent update of capturing [user interaction click events](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-rum-js/issues/496). These events are getting reported with the transaction names as

```
Click >> button
Click >> mat-card-content

```

Having the **\>\>** in the "CLICK **\>\>"** prefix of the event APM logging impacts both the ability to search for it and the display on Kibana visualizations (screenshot below). As "\<\>" are [reserved characters](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#_reserved_characters) in Elasticsearch.

Probably need to avoid using these arrow characters as part of transaction names? Or is there any workaround that we can implement?

Thanks,  
Chandra
