I see no problem here: C-< is not a character, so it can't be placed inside
a string. Some control sequences are characters for historical reasons
(they correspond to ASCII chars 0-31), but most aren't. I recommend to stay
away from strings and use arrays when specifying key sequences:
(global-set-key [?\C-<] 'ding)
or
(global-set-key [(control <)] 'ding)
