Less-than or greater-than signs (code points 0x3C and 0x3E in ASCII). A friend put me on to calling them that because they (sort of?) look like alligators with their mouths open.
My math teachers used an alligator analogy to remind us which is the correct symbol for using the greater - and less - than sign, the 'mouth' of the gator is always eating the greater number.
