N: they are quotation marks. In Pali we have ti at end, and in English we
use these. On computer we also use < > because the signs may come out
differently on different computers. A quote within a quote has: 'and '. the
Buddha considers:"...Rahula thinks 'I am beautiful...' but he is erring."
Also to highlight a word or explain a specific term we can use " and ". Or
when speaking about the title of a text.
