Square Brackets in String

I hope this is a somewhat easy question.

 

I know that power automate doesnt like square brackets ( [ ] ) because thats how they sometimes store variables and arrays. But i need to send a mail with square brackets in its subject. However, ive tried putting it as a string and also directly in the subject box, but it doesnt take it. How can i tell power automate to just treat "[" and "]" as normal symbols with no further meaning.

    Are you sure the BadRequest is about the subject field? I can put square brackets in the subject and send the email just fine.
