U+227B "≻" Succeeds Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
≻
U+227B "≻" Succeeds is a mathematical relation symbol typically used to denote that one element follows or is greater than another in a strict ordering, similar in function to the greater-than sign but often applied in specialized contexts such as set theory, logic, or advanced algebra. It is part of the Mathematical Operators block and is visually represented as a rounded, curved variant of the greater-than symbol, sometimes called a "succeeds" or "precedes" relation depending on its orientation. This character allows writers and mathematicians to express asymmetric relations where one term logically or numerically comes after another, distinguishing it from the more common greater-than sign for clarity in technical documents.
