Sometimes the ">" symbol looks subtle and not recognised as it was planned to be.

Probably, to make it more prominent you can make it bold: File > New

Secondly, the "classic symbol" for submenus is triangle -File ▶︎ New File ➤ New

Next, you can use arrows and a hand: File ☞ New File ☛ New File ⍈ New
