Unicode Version 17.0

U+FE65 "﹥" Small Greater-than Sign is a typographic variant of the standard greater-than symbol, designed to fit within small or compact text layouts, such as in East Asian or narrow character spaces. It belongs to the CJK Compatibility Forms block, where it serves as a glyph compatible with characters used in traditional Chinese and Japanese printing, ensuring that mathematical or relational operators maintain visual consistency when surrounded by fullwidth or small characters. This character is distinct from its fullwidth counterpart (U+FF1E) and the regular ASCII greater-than sign (U+003E), having a specific code point intended for specialized formatting rather than general mathematical notation.
