Why do the less than symbol (<) and the greater than symbol (>) appear wrong as upside down exclamation or question mark?

My question is in the title.

How can I write the greater than symbol? When I use the < off the keyboard, it appears on my PDF as an inverted question mark.

If you want to use it as a math operator, you need to add $ signs:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$>$
\end{document}

Use the textcomp package and the command \textlangle or \textrangle.
