angle bracket
Less-than sign's twin
Angle brackets are the pair of punctuation marks ⟨ ⟩ or, more commonly in everyday use, the less-than and greater-than signs < > repurposed as brackets.
In computing, angle brackets enclose HTML and XML tags: <body>, </div>.
In writing, they may set off URLs, email addresses, or translations of foreign words.
Mathematicians and physicists use them for various specialized notations.
The term distinguishes these from square brackets [ ], curly brackets , and parentheses ( ).
