Telegram Node doesn't like new lines starting with "*"

[successbyfailure]

Bug Description

Building a telegram bot I discovered that if the agent produces a line of text starting with a single * asterisk the telegram node fails to send the message.

example:

Here is a list:
* item1

Would fail but

Here is a list:
** item1
Item2

Would get sent

Single "*" fails:

Double "*" Gets sent

To Reproduce

Create a telegram bot, use the send message box, feed it a line starting with a single asterisk "*"

Expected behavior

text input getting sent

Operating System

Debian with docker compose

n8n Version

1.78.1

Node.js Version

bundled in the docker compose

Database

SQLite (default)

Execution mode

main (default)
