angle brackets

n.

Either of the characters < (ASCII 0111100) and > (ASCII 0111110) (ASCII less-than or greater-than signs). Typographers in the Real World use angle brackets which are either taller and slimmer (the ISO lang ⟨ and rang ⟩ characters), or significantly smaller (single or double guillemets) than the less-than and greater-than signs. See broket, ASCII.
