<, (?), =, >, (?), >
Hints:
1) a sequence,
2) the characters serve as symbols

2$\begingroup$ Are the commas, spaces, brackets, and question marks part of the sequence and there are some missing ones somewhere, or is this a 6-character sequence and the (?) represents the location of the missing ones? $\endgroup$ – jhabbott Feb 2 '16 at 6:40

$\begingroup$ Are the characters the same? And is sequence relevant? $\endgroup$ – Raystafarian Feb 2 '16 at 17:44

$\begingroup$ Given the unspecific question, we could also answer that "the pattern is a sequence" and the missing characters are "(?)". $\endgroup$ – friedemann_bach Feb 2 '16 at 17:58

$\begingroup$ Or its just a comma separated list of symbols, missing some commas: <, (, ?, ), =, >, (, ?, ), > $\endgroup$ – friedemann_bach Feb 2 '16 at 17:59

I think the missing characters are
"<" and ">"
because
each symbol corresponds to the relation of its position (1-6) to the number 3. So the complete sequence would be <, <, =, >, >, >.

4$\begingroup$ @user18447 If you have to reject a simple answer that fits all the clues, that almost certainly means your question needs to be narrowed down more. $\endgroup$ – f'' Feb 1 '16 at 18:39

$\begingroup$ Well. For simple is simple. But none of the clues in fact😀 $\endgroup$ – user18447 Feb 1 '16 at 21:18

$\begingroup$ He did not assign specific meanings to the characters but the relation of them to a chosen one. He guessed one means an undefined number and the others might define sg similar what they look like: more or less. This whole thing is a packet of inconsistency☺ $\endgroup$ – user18447 Feb 1 '16 at 21:23

2$\begingroup$ @user18447: Nothing is inconsistent about his answer at all. The number 3 is not undefined, and the answer fits all the clues. $\endgroup$ – Deusovi♦ Feb 3 '16 at 4:35

My guess is that the missing characters are:
" < " and " > "
it symbolizes:
Media buttons: "<<" rewind, "=" pause, ">" play, ">>" fast forward
