Default =AND($B$12<"",$B$12<TODAY()+60) What does the < mean in this?

Formula above has < and then the double quotes. In the context of the cell
B12, what does the < mean and does the Double Quotes mean, the current cell
of B13 will be "nothing" in the cell?
Just a little confused, haven't run across this formula, yet.

< means not equal to
"" means blank (or empty)

B12<"" means B12 is not equal to blank (or empty)

< means not equal
"" is an string with no text

That formula is checking for a cell being less than 60 days ago, but it
doesn't want to include a cell where there is no date.
