U+2273 "≳" Greater-than or Equivalent To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
≳
U+2273 "≳" Greater-than or Equivalent To is a mathematical symbol that represents a relationship where one value is greater than, or may be considered approximately equal to, another. It is often used in formal logic, set theory, and advanced mathematics to denote a partial order or a comparative relation that allows for slight imprecision, such as in approximations or inequalities involving equivalence under certain conditions. Visually, it combines the greater-than sign (>) with a tilde-like wave beneath it, indicating the dual meaning of strict inequality and equivalence.
