U+22DB "⋛" Greater-than Equal to or Less-Than Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⋛
U+22DB "⋛" Greater-than Equal to or Less-Than is a mathematical symbol used primarily in technical fields such as logic, set theory, and computer science to denote a complex relational condition. It represents a value that is either greater than or equal to another value, or alternatively less than that same value, without specifying which inequality holds. This symbol effectively combines the notions of "≥" and "<" into a single glyph, allowing for concise expression of ambiguous or unknown ordering in equations or algorithms. It is the counterpart to the similar but reversed symbol U+22DC, completing a pair that covers all possible binary relational outcomes.
