Additional Information

Although special characters and spaces are allowed for field alias names, formatting tags are only available for labeling and annotation (Refer to the following documentation: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/mapping/text/text-formatting-tags.htm). This is why the raw tags are seen in the table. Currently, there is no plan to support this functionality for table headers.
