toHaveText fails with percentage character

[angelica-snowit]

What happened?

I have this statement
await expect(element(by.id('price-discount')).atIndex(0)).toHaveText('%');

that fails with this message:
Test Failed: Failed expectation: TOHAVETEXT(text == “”) WITH MATCHER(id == “price-discount”) AT INDEX(0)

The % character disappears.
Adding text before or after lead to the same result.

What was the expected behaviour?

The test should pass if text is "%"
