U+2268 "≨" Less-than but Not Equal To Unicode Character

U+2268 "≨" Less-than but Not Equal To is a mathematical symbol that combines the relations of less-than and not equal to into a single glyph, indicating that one value is strictly smaller than another and explicitly not equal to it. It is used in formal logic, set theory, and advanced mathematics to convey a nuanced inequality where simple less-than might be ambiguous or where the possibility of equality needs to be ruled out. This character is part of the Mathematical Operators block and is typically rendered with a less-than sign crossed by a diagonal stroke to denote the negation of equality.
