Right-pointing Angle Bracket Symbol Meaning
The right-pointing angle bracket 〉 (Unicode name: RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET, code point U+232A) is often used as a visual indicator of direction toward the right. In interface text, it can suggest “next,” “view,” or “continue,” similar in spirit to arrows. In typographic design, it may also be used as a decorative delimiter or emphasis marker. Because it resembles a bracket/chevron shape, it can help readers scan quickly when labeling links, steps, or options. Note that it is distinct from the mathematical greater-than sign (>) and from the left-pointing version (〈).
