Yes, but it's /awfully/ kludgy :-(((
\documentclass {minimal}
\begin {document}
\newdimen \bracketsep
\bracketsep = 0,2 em
\setbox 0 = \hbox {$<$}
\setbox 2 = \hbox {\vrule width \bracketsep height 0,05 pt depth 0,4 pt}\relax
\setbox 4 = \hbox {\vrule width \bracketsep height 0,05 pt depth 0,4 pt}\relax
\leavevmode
\copy 0
\kern -0,1 em
\copy 2
\kern -\wd 2
\raise \ht 0
\copy 4
\kern -\bracketsep
\kern -0,48 em
\copy 0
\end {document}
