Usually the "<" and ">" are used for HTML, and the "{" and "}" are used in CSS.

Generally <> are used for html, {} for css and {} and [] for JavaScript, but it really depends on what programming language you are using, as in most cases all languages will use a combination of brackets in their punctuation.
