U+2A7E "⩾" Greater-than or Slanted Equal To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⩾
U+2A7E "⩾" Greater-than or Slanted Equal To is a mathematical symbol used primarily in formal logic, set theory, and advanced algebra to denote a relation where the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand, but it is distinguished from the more common "≥" by having a slanted rather than a horizontal equal component, which can indicate a slightly different relational nuance in certain proof systems or typographic conventions. It belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block and is encoded in Unicode version 3.2, released in 2002, and is often employed to avoid confusion with similar glyphs in contexts where precise notation is critical, such as in lattice theory or order theory.
