U+2AB1 "⪱" Precedes Above Single-Line Not Equal To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⪱
U+2AB1 "⪱" Precedes Above Single-Line Not Equal To is a mathematical symbol used to denote that one element precedes another while explicitly indicating inequality, combining the concept of ordering with a negation of equality in a single glyph. It features a curved "precedes" sign placed above a horizontal line with a slash through it, which represents the "not equal to" relation. This character is part of the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block and is typically employed in advanced set theory, order theory, or logical notation where a strict ordering relation must be distinguished from a simple precedence.
