U+2AF7 "⫷" Triple Nested Less-Than is a mathematical symbol composed of three stacked less-than signs, representing a deeply nested inequality or a specialized relational operator often used in advanced algebra, set theory, or logic to denote a series of progressive comparisons or a hierarchical ordering of values. It is part of the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block and is distinct from similar double or triple angle bracket characters, serving as a precise notation for expressions where one quantity is less than a second, which is itself less than a third, continuing a chain of multiple inequalities.
