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). —Har.

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?
