U+227F "≿" Succeeds or Equivalent To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
≿
U+227F "≿" Succeeds or Equivalent To is a mathematical relational symbol that combines the concepts of succeeding and equivalence, often used in formal logic, set theory, or order theory to denote that one element is either greater than or equal to another in a partial order, but with an implied notion of equivalence rather than strict inequality. It appears as a stylized tilde or wavy line over a greater-than sign, visually distinguishing it from similar operators like "≥" or "≽". This character is part of the Mathematical Operators block and is typically employed in contexts where a non-strict, but not necessarily linear, ordering is intended, such as in preference relations or algebraic structures with preorders.
