You have to use character codes to include them in your HTML because some characters are restricted for the HTML syntax.

For example to use a greater sign:

<h1>Is 5 &gt 6?</h1>

You can view more character codes here:

Ok I found the error was not a problem, Google Fonts has an issue or something but it still pulls up the fonts. Thank you~
