It depends on how the document is written, but \> stops matching on a period, comma, apostrophe, space, newline, what have you. Word boundary matching is just very handy.
As to why its that set of characters… Honestly I have no idea :) Regexes are just what they are and I assume the special escape made sense to the inventor at least.
