Are the angle brackets part of the string you are attempting to print? — Dan Bracuk, Jun 04 '14 at 19:21
Most browsers are going to see the "<" and ">" and consider them HTML containers with unknown tags. — Adrian J. Moreno, Jun 04 '14 at 19:58
with
tag the output is different it breaks the line after printing the opening angle bracket — user1639941, Jun 04 '14 at 20:21
Do you want `#abcg#` shown on the screen, or the value of #abcg# ? — James A Mohler, Jun 05 '14 at 02:46

You can use the following to escape the browser trying to render it as an HTML tag

<cfoutput>
    &lt;this is my word="word" value="#abcg#"&gt;
 </cfoutput>
