I'd usually be inclined to go with U+00BB », since it is very well supported as a Latin-1 character, and graphically the correct shape.

If that's deemed semantically incorrect since it's not a quotation mark, U+23E9 ⏩︎ is both a symbol and reasonably close in shape (although it may sometimes need a variation selector to suppress displaying in an emoji font).

People sometimes use two greater-than signs or a right-hand guillemet

text as part of a link. I wonder which Unicode character(s) would be

appropriate for this. There is U+02C3 (“˃”, modifier letter right

arrowhead), but it is a modifier letter (see also U+08FC (arabic

double right arrowhead above with dot) for comparison). Simply U+27A4

(“➤”, black rightwards arrowhead), whose contour consists of two

>-like shapes? Or should a new character be proposed?
