Ditto -- I'm using 7, and I don't see anything like that.

I really don't think that's what it is.  I've seen it somewhere before,
but I'm drawing a blank right now.  Regardless, it seems that there's a
nondefault setting that the rest of us don't have.  Perhaps it has
something to do with the way Vim was installed in this case, if it
hasn't been set explicitly -- or perhaps there have been some
configuration changes made via an example .vimrc found on the web, or
something like that.  I can only guess.

Simply entering
  :set foldcolumn
should tell you what is currently set for the foldcolumn option.

Unfortunately, Google won't let me search for the greater than symbol,
and I'm having a tough time finding something relevant in the Vim
documentation on this computer, so I'm not getting very far in
attempting to figure out what's going on.  Perhaps we could be of more
help if we saw the /etc/vim/vimrc, /usr/share/vim/vimrc, and
of course ~/.vimrc files.  Erm.  Assuming this is on Linux.  What's the
operating system?  I suppose I should have asked that first.
