U+22D9 "⋙" Very Much Greater-Than Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⋙
U+22D9 "⋙" Very Much Greater-Than is a mathematical symbol composed of two identical greater than signs stacked vertically, indicating that one value is substantially larger than another rather than just marginally so. It is part of the Mathematical Operators block and is typically used in advanced mathematics, logic, or computer science to denote a relationship of significant magnitude difference, such as in inequalities like x ⋙ y to emphasize that x is orders of magnitude greater than y. This symbol complements its inverse, the Very Much Less-Than character U+22D8, and is distinct from the standard greater than sign by conveying a stronger comparative emphasis.
