Description

Broken Cypher Query Syntax Due to Unicode Greater Than Symbols

For Example: https://github.com/SpecterOps/MSSQLHound/blob/main/saved_queries/MSSQL_%20Domain%20Principals%20that%20Can%20Coerce%20and%20Relay%20to%20MSSQL.json has the query:

{
"query":"MATCH p = (:Base)-[:MSSQL_CoerceAndRelayToMSSQL]-\u003e() RETURN p"
}

It should be:

"query":"MATCH p = (:Base)-[:MSSQL_CoerceAndRelayToMSSQL]->() RETURN p"

Awesome project btw!
