    Yes, it does:
    27E8;MATHEMATICAL LEFT ANGLE BRACKET;Ps;0;ON;;;;;Y;;;;;
    27E9;MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET;Pe;0;ON;;;;;Y;;;;;

    (Despite the name, you can use them outside of math expressions.)

    You also have the (mathematical):
    2991;LEFT ANGLE BRACKET WITH DOT;Ps;0;ON;;;;;Y;;;;;
    2992;RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET WITH DOT;Pe;0;ON;;;;;Y;;;;;

    But:
    3008;LEFT ANGLE BRACKET;Ps;0;ON;;;;;Y;OPENING ANGLE BRACKET;;;;
    3009;RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET;Pe;0;ON;;;;;Y;CLOSING ANGLE BRACKET;;;;
    are for CJK use.
