U+2A9D "" Similar or Less-Than is a mathematical symbol used in formal logic and set theory to denote a relationship that is either equal to or a subset of another set, or to indicate that one value is similar to, but not strictly greater than, another. It combines the visual cues of a tilde or similarity mark with the classic less‑than sign, making it distinct from the ordinary less‑than or equals sign. This character appears in technical texts where nuanced comparisons or orderings are necessary, and it belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block.
