What's the HTML entity code for the character that looks like "«" (but it's not the less-than sign)

3That character isn't in ASCII. – Paul Tomblin – 2010-11-01T18:50:53.190

Wouldn't this belong in doctype or webmasters? – ricbax – 2010-11-01T19:09:59.357

This is know as left double angle quotes. You can implement them as &#171 or «. I use this site for all my ASCIIHTML code needs.

≪ gives you "≪" (MUCH LESS-THAN)

« gives you "«" (LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK)

The character you want is called "LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK" in Unicode. It is at code point U+00AB. It can be found in the C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement code chart.
