U+2270 "≰" Neither Less-than nor Equal To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
≰
U+2270 "≰" Neither Less-than nor Equal To is a mathematical symbol that represents the logical negation of the combined relation "less than or equal to". Visually, it consists of a standard less-than sign ( < ) crossed by a diagonal slash, indicating that the first value is not less than or equal to the second, but it does not specify whether it is greater than or not, often implying strict inequality in the opposite direction. This character falls within the Mathematical Operators block of Unicode and is commonly used in formal mathematics, computer science, and logical expressions to denote an invalid or false inequality relationship.
