History & usage: The symbol is the MATHEMATICAL RIGHT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A block. It is used as a delimiter in writing and in code. It marks groups, parameters, or quoted text. In mathematics, double angle brackets show special lists or inner expressions. In programming, it can appear in languages that treat it as a token or as part of template syntax. The right double angle looks like two close chevrons. It faces outward from the content it encloses. It is part of a family of angular brackets that guide readers and parsers through nested ideas. Historically, brackets like this were chosen to avoid confusion with common punctuation. They help separate items without using words. Their use is more common in technical texts and some coding styles. When you read or write, you may see them around parameters or quoted segments. They reduce ambiguity and keep groups clear. The symbol is a visual tool for structure and clarity in math and code.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+27EB in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
