@petermeisenstein Anything that can be used to enclose something can be called a bracket "<" and ">" are often used to enclose tags as in HTML/XML. They specifically are also known as chevrons or angle brackets

Speaking of cultural differences, I was asked to help with some junior school maths homework here once and I was like ‘okay, easy’ and then the questions were all like ’1,5 • 1,5 = ?’ And I was like ’what the heck even is this???’. Sad day.
