Description
I have the following behavior on several IOS devices. On MacOS I don't have that issue.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new contact e.g. in webapplication of nextcloud and fill "notes" with content "18.02.2021; Fuerteventura"
- On IOS Device add CardDAV Account corresponding to contact book and setup sync.
- Let CardDAV sync with IOS Device
Expected behaviour
If you click on details of that contact it should show the complete "notes" content. In this example "18.02.2021; Fuerteventura".
Actual behaviour
It just shows "18.02.2021". The ";" seems to be interpreted as a separator? Maybe you need to escape this special character?
Server configuration

Research direction
Start by reproducing the CardDAV contact sync with an iOS device using a notes value containing a semicolon, as described in the issue. Trace how the notes field is serialized during sync and compare the transferred value with the expected complete text. Done means the semicolon and following content remain visible on iOS without regressing other notes values.
