U+2AF8 "⫸" Triple Nested Greater-Than Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⫸
U+2AF8 "⫸" Triple Nested Greater-Than is a mathematical symbol that visually resembles a standard greater-than sign (>) but with two additional, smaller greater-than signs nested inside its opening angle, creating a compact triple layered structure. It is part of the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block and is used in advanced mathematical notation, particularly in fields such as logic, set theory, or algebra, to denote a specialized relational operator, often signifying a strict ordering, a transformation, or a specific comparative relationship that requires more nuance than a single greater-than sign can provide.
