What does \u003C mean?

Question

I\'m looking at twitter\'s javascript file, and I see this in the templates hash:

Browse Interests{{/i}}\\u003C/a\\u003E\\n        \\u003C/li\\u003E\\n  {{#l         


        

Answer 1

It's a unicode character. In this case \u003C and \u003E mean :

U+003C < Less-than sign

U+003E > Greater-than sign
