Greater-than But Not Equivalent To Symbol
⋧ indicates “greater than but not equivalent to,” commonly used in mathematical comparisons.
U+22E7
The symbol ⋧ is the Unicode character named “GREATER-THAN BUT NOT EQUIVALENT TO” (U+22E7). It’s mainly used in math and typesetting when you want to express an order relation without equivalence.
Greater-than But Not Equivalent To Symbol Meaning
⋧ (U+22E7) represents “greater-than but not equivalent to.” In practice, it’s used in mathematical notation to state that one quantity is larger than another, while explicitly ruling out equivalence between them. This can appear alongside other comparison symbols when authors want precise logical meaning rather than a single “greater than” sign. If you’re writing in plain text, you may use it in technical writing, documentation, or educational materials where Unicode math symbols are acceptable. For programming and design systems, the character can be inserted via its HTML entity (⋧) or escaped as needed.
Common uses
- •Mathematical inequality and comparison notation in notes or documentation
- •Annotating proofs or explanations where “>” is not sufficient because equivalence must be excluded
- •Labeling diagrams or charts in technical presentations
- •Using Unicode math symbols in textbooks, worksheets, or educational content
- •UI/UX display for math-heavy interfaces that rely on Unicode characters
Examples
⋧ Greater-than but not equivalent to
- ⋧If a ⋧ b, then a is greater than b but not equivalent.
- ⋧We write x ⋧ y to exclude the possibility of equality.
- ⋧The relation ⋧ is stronger than simply using “greater than.”
- ⋧In this step, the inequality becomes x ⋧ y.
- ⋧Let p ⋧ q denote p is larger without equivalence.
