U+22DD "⋝" Equal to or Greater-Than Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+22DD "⋝" Equal to or Greater-Than is a mathematical symbol used to denote that one quantity is either equal to or greater than another, serving as the reverse order counterpart of the more common "Equal to or Less-Than" symbol. It is encoded in Unicode's Mathematical Operators block and is visually distinctive for its double-barred shape, which combines a standard greater-than sign with an additional horizontal line to indicate the inclusive "or equal" condition. This character is primarily employed in formal mathematics, computer science, and logic notation to express inequalities, such as in set theory, algorithm comparisons, or constraint equations, ensuring clarity in both hand-written and digital text when a simple "greater-than-or-equal" symbol (≥) is unavailable or when a specific mathematical aesthetic is desired.
