just for the Emacs-users among you: C-x 8 < yields « and C-x 8 > yields ».
For the Unix/Linux users it is possible to setup or modify the keyboard layout using xmodmap.
Actually there are so many combinations of OS, keyboard layouts, tools, editors and unicode encodings that this could become quite an FAQ...
Btw. since it is favored that the default encoding for perl6 source code will be utf-8, it is not enough that you type something that displays as « or ». Your editor has to support utf-8 or you need to have conversion tools to and from something that your editor supports.
Best regards,
