Greater-than Above Similar Above Less-than Symbol
⪐ is a math symbol showing a stacked relation: greater-than above similar above less-than.
U+2A90
⪐ is a specialized Unicode math character with a stacked comparison layout. It’s useful when you need a compact, three-part relational mark in text, design, or documents. You can copy it directly or use its Unicode/HTML/CSS escapes.
Greater-than Above Similar Above Less-than Symbol Meaning
⪐ (Unicode name: GREATER-THAN ABOVE SIMILAR ABOVE LESS-THAN) is a stacked relational symbol used in mathematical typography. Visually, it combines three levels: a greater-than sign at the top, a “similar to” relation in the middle, and a less-than sign at the bottom. This makes it handy for representing constraints or grouped comparisons in a compact form, especially in contexts where a vertical arrangement conveys structure more clearly than separate symbols. As with many advanced math characters, its primary meaning is determined by the notation system or typesetting convention you are following.
Common uses
- •Mathematical document typesetting where a stacked comparison mark is needed
- •Designing educational materials that present multiple relation steps compactly
- •Creating form fields or UI labels for specialized technical notation
- •Annotating graphs or diagrams in math/engineering presentations
- •Typography and layout work for reports that require consistent symbol styling
