The bug is that left and right bracket are announced by VoiceOver as left and right parenthesis, so I show you a work around to make these two symbols announce correctly.

Exploring Tech Webinar by David DW for June 2023 Accessing the Printed Word

Lots of great things to say about Android, some things I wish iOS would do that Android does, and some comments about overall accessibility of Android at least from a screen readers point of view.
Enjoy.

This feature is available in Australia where the Merchant runs an app on their iPhone to receive either an Apple Pay or in this case paying via a physical card when the limit has reached to enter a pin number for a physical card after it has been tapped on the screen.
Merchant simply taps the accessibility options which allows the user to:
2 finger double tap to repeat initial instructions,
Single tap once for 1, twice for 2, 9 for 9, and 10 taps for 0,
2 finger flick left to delete a number, and
2 finger flick left to submit pin number.
Out of all the options I've tested with this type of payment system, to me this is the best result for ease of use whilst maintaining security and privacy.
Have a listen.
