While I was looking for something very different, I discovered 
that in linguistics angle brackets are used for referring to 
graphemes

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapheme#Notation

The English Wikipedia article only shows the "proper" angle 
brackets. The German Wikipedia tells much more about notation
variants for graphemes and sequences of graphemes:

     http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphem#Schreibweise_.28Notation.29

including "acute" brackets with really acute angles.

Cheers,

    Uwe.
