How to add ASCII symbol after each recent post [closed]

Question

Are you talking about (something like) this:

<?php
$args = array(
    'numberposts' => 2,
);
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts($args);
foreach ($recent_posts as $recent) {
    ?>
    <li>
        <a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/127441/<?php echo get_permalink($recent["ID']); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr($recent["post_title"]); ?>">
            <?php echo $recent["post_title"]; ?>
        </a> &gt;
    </li>
    <?php
}
?>

If so, what was the problem?
