On the other hand, many UIs do have something like “<” or “>” (and I am not talking about the ASCII characters!) to point to the left/right. Not sure whether it deserves to be encoded as a Unicode character, but then again, why not when there are all sorts of different arrows? I have also seen something that looks similar to “>>”.
