In Java, characters as <([{^-=$!|]})?*+.> cannot appear in a regular expression without being escaped.
For this, rely on the Pattern.quote() method as in the following example:
public static boolean contains(String t1, String t2) { return t1.matches(Pattern.quote(t2)); }Now t2 can contain special characters.
