Right-pointing Angle Bracket Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Right-pointing Angle Bracket because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+232A, which you can use as 〉 in HTML, \232A in CSS, or type with Alt+9002 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Right-pointing Angle Bracket is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+232A is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. HTML also defines the named entity ⟩ for Right-pointing Angle Bracket, but the numeric form 〉 is safer when compatibility is uncertain.
