U+2329 "⟨" Left-Pointing Angle Bracket Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⟨
U+2329 "⟨" Left-Pointing Angle Bracket is a typographic symbol that resembles an angled bracket opening to the left, often used in mathematical notation or as a delimiter in technical contexts such as denoting sequences or intervals, though its use has largely been deprecated in modern Unicode in favor of the similar but distinct character U+3009 "〉" for CJK punctuation to avoid confusion with less-than signs.
