You do realize your 'fake' email address is to a 'real' domain that is

How to do "<" and/or ">" be authorized in a textarea ?

Nothing needs to be done to authorize that.

You probably wanted to know how to enter "<" and ">" as data characters
_in HTML_, specifically in textarea element content. Consult a primer on
HTML for that, _after_ you have considered why you wish to use such
characters in the _default value_ for an _input_ field.

(Oh well, I might as well read the primers for you. The characters "<"
needs to be written as "<" or equivalently "<" or equivalently
"&lt;". And ">" can be written as such, contrary to popular
superstition, but you can use e.g. "&gt;" for it for symmetry, as a
matter of source code style.)
