Double Succeeds Symbol
⪼ is the Double Succeeds symbol used in formal mathematical and logical notation.
U+2ABC
⪼ is a mathematical symbol with the Unicode name DOUBLE SUCCEEDS. It’s commonly used in contexts that require precise ordering or relational notation. Use it when you need a “double succeeds” relation as a single character.
Double Succeeds Symbol Meaning
The character ⪼ is named “DOUBLE SUCCEEDS” in Unicode (U+2ABC). In mathematical and logical notation, symbols with “succeeds” are typically used to express ordering or relational relationships between objects (for example, variants of precedence-like comparisons). Because this symbol is part of Unicode’s mathematical set, its meaning is most reliable in formal math contexts (typesetting, proofs, or specification documents) rather than everyday text. If you’re using it in plain text or designs, pair it with surrounding words or standard math expressions so readers understand the intended relation.
Common uses
- •Mathematical typesetting where a “double succeeds” relation is required
- •Writing logic or order-based specifications in documentation
- •Labeling steps or transitions in formal proof outlines
- •Designing technical diagrams that reference relational ordering
- •Creating study notes or cheat sheets for advanced math notation
