I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking, so here’s a couple possible answers.

I’d pronounce that line “interface Root View Controller, subclassing U I Table 
View Controller, conforming to the U I Table View Delegate and U I Table View 
Data Source protocols.” Or possibly “subclasses/conforms to”, depending on the 
context. 

The name of the punctuation is “angle brackets” or “less than/greater than” 
(or, archaically, when together, “not equal to”, but if you say that, even 
about the literal “<>”, it’s unlikely you’ll be understood). So if I was 
describing the line to be typed in, I might instead say “at interface Root View 
Controller, colon, U I Table View Controller, open angle bracket, U I Table 
View Delegate, comma, U I Table View Data Source, close angle bracket."

Hope this helps.
