I presume, you are following the Ubuntu package install from here.

There are multiple issues in your command line:

sudo echo «deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` nginx» \ 
   | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list \
   curl -fsSL https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_s

« and » are invalid symbols in this context. I presume, you wanted to use "
The curl instruction is missing a separation from the tee command. This is why the -f from curl -fsSL is used by tee - adding a ; or && between tee and curl would fix this, but the curl command does not make sens at all. It try's to fetch a key and write it to stdou, but the URL is invalid.

Try it as described on the homepage of Nginx:

Install the key first

curl https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | gpg --dearmor \
  | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null

Add the repository to apt

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] \
http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` nginx" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list

Update the database
```
sudo apt-get update
```
Install nginx
```
sudo apt install nginx
```

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
