They're not printed on my keyboard but I can use AltGr+Z and AltGr+X to produce « and » . This 
is actually a lot nicer to type than { } which requires me to move my hands a lot more.

I think it's a real problem if some people can't produce them though... Sometimes you just 
wanna hack a bit in some crappy console editor...
