U+2265 "≥" Greater-than or Equal To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
≥
U+2265 "≥" Greater-than or Equal To is a mathematical symbol used to indicate that one value is larger than or exactly equal to another, serving as a fundamental operator in algebra, inequality notation, and programming logic. It was included in the Unicode standard to provide a single, typographically consistent glyph for this common relational concept, distinguishing it from the separate greater-than sign ">" and the equals sign "=". The symbol is frequently employed in equations, technical writing, and data comparison expressions to represent non-strict inequality, and it is supported across most modern fonts and digital text systems.
