When using the palmos encoding, 0x8b correctly encodes to ‹, but 0x9b was mistakenly marked as a control character instead of ›. You can see the correct glyphs in this screenshot of Palm OS 3.5, or on this page:
3.9, 3.12
macOS
3.9 is rather old, but the PR against main shows that this is a current issue.
Just ran another test on 3.12.10 for good measure - I had it installed, but not set as default for some reason.
