Why does Apache get a 403 error when passing < and > characters in a URL?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Hello!
I am building a website locally. When calling such an address
http://localhost/<test
, it throws a standard Apache 403 Error page. Moreover, the same is true when transmitting the symbol >. All requests go to index.php. But when passing these characters to the url, a 403 error occurs.
How can I make the request be redirected to index.php when a url is called with these characters ?

Answer 1

Because the standard for URL is
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1738
The characters "<" and ">" are unsafe because they are used as the
delimiters around URLs in free text
