U+2A8C "⪌" Greater-than Above Double-Line Equal Above Less-Than Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2A8C "⪌" Greater-than Above Double-Line Equal Above Less-Than is a mathematical symbol that visually combines a greater-than sign on top of a double-line equal sign, which itself sits above a less-than sign. This compound glyph is used in advanced mathematical and logical notation to represent complex relational expressions, such as comparisons where one value is greater than a second value and that second value is either less than or equal to a third. The character belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block and helps convey nuanced inequality relationships in a single, compact symbol, particularly in fields like formal logic, set theory, or abstract algebra. Its design reflects a layered notation that simplifies otherwise cumbersome written expressions involving multiple relational operators.
