Problem defining Breadcrumbs

[Don Wagner]

I'm using v1.5.6b, classic responsive template. The breadcrumb looks kind of goofy, so tried changing it back to what the Admin screen says is the default value ' :: '



When I do, it automatically converts it into this which is quite unexpected



Was actually trying for " > " as a Breadcrumb, just thought I would start with something that was documented as working. What is the workaround for this, entering the value directly into the SQL Table?
