VB.NET Like operator confusion with a picture less than familiar

Question

Dim rc As Boolean = "2" Like "*?<*?"

I don’t understand why rc is True, certainly 2not at all like that *?<*?.

The above template requires a line with

As far as I can work, is <not a special character, which means something else, except <for the Like operator.

Using Visual Studio 2010.

So far I can’t directly explain why it 2looks like "*?<*?".

Your request is being read;

;

, , "<" -

:

Dim rc As Boolean = "2" Like "???*<*"

;

, , , ...

EDIT:

.

:

, "<" -

:

Dim rc As Boolean = "2" Like "*?<?*"

False, ;

Dim rc As Boolean = "<" Like "*?<?*"

Dim rc As Boolean = "2<2" Like "*?<?*"

true.
