Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token) while XML is just perfectly fine

Question

I am constantly getting this error while building a project:

AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)","sources":[{"file":"D:\\MyApp\\app\\src\\main\\res\\layout\\login_help.xml","position":{"startLine":0}}],"original":"","tool":"AAPT"}

D:\MyApp\app\src\main\res\layout\login_help.xml Error:(1) Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)

I tried searching for xml errors, but I just couldn't find any. Any answer I found on stackoverflow didn't help either :(. How can I fix this nonsense error?
