U+2A87 "⪇" Less-than and Single-Line Not Equal To Unicode Character

U+2A87 "⪇" Less-than and Single-Line Not Equal To is a mathematical symbol that combines the less-than sign with a single horizontal line through the equals sign, indicating that one value is less than another and also not equal to it in a single, compact glyph. This character is used in formal mathematics and logic to express a strict inequality with an explicit negation of equality, providing clarity in expressions where both conditions must be satisfied. It belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block and is part of the Unicode standard to facilitate precise notation in digital text.
