title: Branch named <96>d in Git
body: <p>While executing the git branch command, &lt;96>d is listed at the end, with &lt;96> being highlighted. 
  Though it doesn't seem to be a valid branch, does it indicate something? How do I delete it? 
  I am using git on Unix.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; git branch
  branch1
  branch2
  **&lt;96&gt;**d
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>While trying to delete it, an error is seen</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; git branch -d &lt;96&gt;d
  Error: Branch '&lt;96&gt;d' not found.
  &gt; git branch -d 96d

  &gt; git branch -d "&lt;96&gt;d"
