U+2A7D "⩽" Less-than or Slanted Equal To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⩽
U+2A7D "⩽" Less-than or Slanted Equal To is a mathematical symbol that represents the relation "less than or equal to" but with a slanted rather than horizontal equality line, distinguishing it from the more common "≤" sign. It is often used in formal logic, set theory, or advanced mathematics to denote a specific type of inequality where the equal component is visually tilted, sometimes to avoid confusion with other notations or to indicate a slightly different relational meaning. This character belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block in Unicode and is encoded at code point U+2A7D, providing a precise typographic option for technical documents and mathematical typesetting.
