Hey, I'm not fully aware of this mechanism but I do remember typing the
same characters on the keyboard in the different layouts produce angle
brackets pointing to different directions (same goes for all the different
brackets/parenthesis).

Regarding XML, usually XML tags are in English, the only thing that can be
in Hebrew are the attributes' values, so that case is highly plausible.

Basically it should be that way also for Arabic and Persian so the
translation in those languages can be a good indicator for this situation.
