U00AB

U00AB is the Unicode character for the left-pointing double angle quotation mark, also known as a guillemet. It is used primarily in French, and other Romance languages, for quotation marks. The character's appearance is two angled chevrons pointing to the left. Its counterpart is U00BB, the right-pointing double angle quotation mark. In some contexts, these characters are also used as a typographical symbol for "back" or "previous" in navigation menus or interfaces, analogous to the left arrow. The Unicode standard assigns it the code point U+00AB and the name "LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK". It is often rendered in a manner similar to <<.
