U+2AAB "⪫" Larger Than Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⪫
U+2AAB "⪫" Larger Than is a mathematical relational symbol used primarily in formal logic, set theory, and advanced algebra to denote a strict inequality where one entity is larger than another, often appearing in contexts that require a precise distinction from the common "greater than" sign (U+003E). Its design features a heavier, elongated, or stylized stroke that sets it apart visually, ensuring it is not confused with other similar operators in densely symbolic notation. This character belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block, which includes a range of specialized signs for technical writing and academic publications.
