keysym-utf: replace the Unicode characters for leftanglebracket and rightanglebracket Looking at leftanglebracket - The standard[1] does not specify any Unicode value for it. - The keysym list keysymdef.h in x11proto[2] says U+27E9 MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET in a comment. - The keysym->unicode list in xkbcommon which comes from [3] has U+2329 LEFT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET. - The keysym->unicode list in Xlib[4] has U+2039 SINGLE LEFT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK.
