Thanks Michal;

I changed it to "\textgreater" and now it works OK in tex4ht and
also in pdf.

But ">" does compile OK using lualatex. I did try it before posting.

=====================
>cat foo4.tex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\section{unable to type ">"}
why?
\end{document}


>lualatex foo4.tex

This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.12.0 (TeX Live 2020)
  restricted system commands enabled.

========================

No problem. pdf is fine. it shows ">" correct in section title.

But issue is now closed for me.

Thanks again for your help.
