escape character in dhtmlGrid

I have a grid with a few columns "Editable".

When I edit a cell with the character ">" in it,it display like ">",how can I do something prevent it from changing ">"
to ">"?

If you want to preserve special characters ( < > & ), you need to use text based column types ( default column types are html based ) 
Use next types 
  ro -> rotxt
  ed -> edtxt
  txt -> txttxt
  coro -> corotxt
