U+2AA5 "⪥" Greater-than Beside Less-Than Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⪥
U+2AA5 "⪥" Greater-than Beside Less-Than is a mathematical symbol that belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block, combining a greater-than sign placed directly beside a less-than sign to represent a relational operator indicating "x is not less than and not greater than y," effectively serving as a notation for approximate equality or equivalence between two values. This character is distinct from a simple combination of separate signs, as it functions as a single, intentional glyph for use in formal mathematical expressions and logical propositions.
