[cpp.include]/3:

A preprocessing directive of the form

    # include " q-char-sequence " new-line

causes the replacement of that directive by the entire contents of the source file identified by the specified
sequence between the " delimiters. The named source file is searched for in an implementation-defined
manner. If this search is not supported, or if the search fails, the directive is reprocessed as if it read

    # include < h-char-sequence > new-line

with the identical contained sequence (including > characters, if any) from the original directive.

The < character is missing in the last sentence above.

No, I don't think it's missing, it doesn't need to be there. The point is that h-char-sequence doesn't normally allow > because it isn't an h-char. But < is allowed in an h-char-sequence so there's no need to say anything special about it.
