While this is being discussed, I understand the ASCII shorthand for
≤ and ≥, but what do >> and << mean?

Thankyou to anyone who can enlighten me. :)

These are Latex symbols \gg and \ll or naturally written "much greater"
and "much less".

Image to see how they look like:

Unicode would be:
≪ U+226A MUCH LESS-THAN
≫ U+226B MUCH GREATER-THAN

Frank, thanks a heap for this. Since I'm using UTF-8, I try to input the correct characters if I can, but I don't know latex. With this excellent diagram, I can do much better. Thankyou!
