How handle with special characters in emotions characters via this Html.fromHtml method

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I am facing problem in formating and setting text view in android if any 
special character comes(starting Html tags like < and </) during Html formatting

TextView tv;
String subject = "My heart <3 is paining and breaking </3 after this";
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>"+subject+"</b>");


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output should contains string with emotions character like </3 or <3



Please provide any additional information below.
but in actual in this case string automatically truncate after < or </ .
