angle bracket
     
         Either of the characters "<" (less-than, {ASCII}
        60) and ">" (greater-than, ASCII 62).  Typographers in the
        {Real World} use angle brackets which are either taller and
        slimmer (the {ISO} "{Bra}" and "{Ket}" characters), or
        significantly smaller (single or double guillemets) than the
        less-than and greater-than signs.
     
        See {broket}.
