I think you cannot use $\symbol{60}$ etc. for bookmarks.
The following is an example to obtain <> in bookmarks:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
%
%
\catcode`\@=0
@catcode`@\=12
@section{@texorpdfstring{$@symbol{60}@symbol{62}$}{\074\076}}
@catcode`@\=0
\catcode`\@=12
%
%
\end{document}
