<

1) To show that one thing is less than another thing.

2) The opposite of the online symbol >. This symbol is used to represent either you or something sucks. More likely than not, the player is too lazy to write sucks and just goes right to the "<" symbol. Most people catch on what it means

1) 72 < 80

2) d00d! r0fl br0z0rz y00 < @t 7HI$ Gam3z0rz!
