U+2A8C
⪌ (U+2A8C) is a mathematical operator symbol used in specialized notation. It visually stacks comparison and equality marks to express a structured relationship. Below you’ll find meaning, practical uses, and copy options for text and code.
Greater-than Above Double-line Equal Above Less-than Symbol Meaning
⪌ is named “GREATER-THAN ABOVE DOUBLE-LINE EQUAL ABOVE LESS-THAN” (Unicode U+2A8C). Visually, it places a greater-than sign above, a double-line equals sign in the middle, and a less-than sign below. In mathematical contexts, this stacked comparison/equality styling is used to denote relationships where multiple ordered constraints are shown together. Because it is a dedicated Unicode character, it’s also useful in documents that require precise glyph matching rather than approximations made from separate symbols.
Common uses
- •Represent stacked inequality/equality notation in math documents
- •Label ranges or conditional relationships in technical writing
- •Create consistent symbols in typography-focused worksheets
- •Use in LaTeX-like plain text settings where Unicode is preferred
- •Add precise math glyphs in UI text for calculators or editors
