Those are just generic tokens -- everything outside of { } is. We could have chosen to use any other kind of punctuation there.

As for what they mean in the context of 6502 assembly, # marks an immediate-mode argument, and < is seen on some assembly flavors to mark exclusive zero-page addressing. (To be fair, in those flavors, < might actually just be an operator that takes the lowest 8 bits of a value, akin to `8)
