Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2AA1 "⪡" Double Nested Less-Than is a mathematical symbol used primarily in formal logic, abstract algebra, and order theory to denote a stronger or iterated relation of "less than," often indicating a much smaller order of magnitude or a strict ordering that is significantly more restrictive than a single less-than sign. It can represent a double inequality where one value is far smaller than another, or in some notations, a specialized comparison within partially ordered sets or nonstandard analysis. Visually composed of two stacked less-than signs, it extends the basic comparison symbol to convey a more emphatic or nested relational meaning distinct from its single counterpart.
