In my dot file
stdin_in -> file_out [label=<<font color="blue">tee >/dev/null</font>>];
tee >/dev/null is supposed to be the text of the label, but it contains > which is a special character, so dot complains about it. What shall I do instead? Thanks.

You need to give more context. Is that supposed to be a HTML-like label? Is any app outside graphviz producing this line?

@vaettchen thanks. it is quite flexible, and not supposed to be a HTML-like label. I used HTML like code only for adding color to the label, and didn't find other way to add the color (I am a beginner). Although my question is self contained, if you are interested, there is more context here stackoverflow.com/questions/53421930/…

Put the text in quotation marks; changing the line to
stdin_in -> file_out[ label = "tee > /dev/null" fontcolor = "blue" ];
produces the desired result:
