[duxuser] less than and greater than symbols

I'm using the Word template and DBT 10.6. 

I'm working on a document that displays text within less than
and greater than symbols. In print, there are no spaces between the symbols and 
the word they enclose. I know these symbols as dots 5 13, and dots 46 2 
respectively. I think those are the mathematical symbols. When I import the 
document into DBT, the symbols come up as dots 56 236, and dots 356 23. I've 
never seen these and want to know which symbols to use. Also, if I attempt to 
use the mathematical symbols through using the Nemeth toolbar in Word, there is 
a forced space between the symbols and the letters they enclose. I don't want 
spaces. 

This document also uses the print right double angle bracket to represent the 
use of the tab in print. What is the braille character for that? 

This document is for my own use, so I'm not all that fussy about everything 
being letter perfect. But I do want it mostly right. Can anyone help out with 
these symbols?
