Symbols For Representing Angle Brackets
A variety of different symbols are used to represent angle brackets. In e-mail and other ASCII text it is common to use the less-than (<) and greater-than (>) signs to represent angle brackets. Unicode has three pairs of dedicated characters:
- U+2329 (〈) and U+232A (〉) (left/right-pointing angle bracket) which are deprecated
- U+27E8 (⟨) and U+27E9 (⟩) (mathematical left/right angle bracket)
- U+3008 (〈) and U+3009 (〉) (left/right angle bracket in Chinese punctuation)
In LaTeX the markup is \langle and \rangle: .

Famous quotes containing the words symbols, representing and/or angle:
“The twentieth-century artist who uses symbols is alienated because the system of symbols is a private one. After you have dealt with the symbols you are still private, you are still lonely, because you are not sure anyone will understand it except yourself. The ransom of privacy is that you are alone.”
—Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911)
“There are people who are so presumptuous that they know no other way to praise a greatness that they publicly admire than by representing it as a preliminary stage and bridge leading to themselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“So much symmetry!
Like the pale angle of time
And eternity.
The great shape labored and fell.”
—N. Scott Momaday (b. 1934)
