I had to replace the separator (angle quotation mark) with it's html-entity to make it work. So » becomes » .

UTF-8 encoding…

If » does not work on your site without having to use HTML entities, it would seem that your site has encoding issues. Drupal sites should always use UTF-8…

I have found this post that uses this function to create breadcrumbs based off the URL.
Don't know who to give credit to, but thanks!

How to make breadcrumb separator images

Posted by Stuart_Eske on May 5, 2010 at 11:37am

Here is a little snippet to make separator images

php

function phptemplate_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) {
	   if (!empty($breadcrumb)) {
		   $separator_icon = '<div class="breadcrumb-separator">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>';
		   $breadcrumb_string = '<div class="breadcrumb">'
			   . implode($separator_icon, $breadcrumb)
			   . '</div>';
		   return $breadcrumb_string;
	   }
}

css

div.breadcrumb-separator {
	display: inline;
	background: url(breadcrumb-separator.png) no-repeat bottom left;
}

If you base your theme function off the sample function theme_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) above in a fresh theme you end up with nested divs, with a class and ID of the same name.
You get this:

<div id="breadcrumb">
<div class="breadcrumb">
<a href="/">Home</a> » <a href="/link">Link 2</a>
</div>
</div>

Instead use:

function themename_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) {
  if (!empty($breadcrumb)) {
    return implode(' » ', $breadcrumb);
  }
}

And avoid the 2nd div.
