U+2264 "≤" Less-than or Equal To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
≤
U+2264 "≤" Less-than or Equal To is a mathematical symbol that represents a relational operator indicating that the value on the left is either smaller than or exactly equal to the value on the right. It is widely used in mathematics, computer science, and logic to define inequalities, constraints, and ranges, and it is distinct from the similar but more restrictive "less than" symbol. This character is part of the Mathematical Operators block in Unicode, encoded for consistent representation across digital platforms and systems.
