Greater-than Closed By Curve Above Slanted Equal Symbol
⪩ is a specialized math symbol: greater-than closed by curve above slanted equal.
U+2AA9
⪩ is a Unicode math character used in advanced notations. It’s often encountered in mathematical texts where specialized inequality-style symbols are needed. You can copy it directly or use its Unicode code point in your documents and code.
Greater-than Closed By Curve Above Slanted Equal Symbol Meaning
⪩ (U+2AA9) is a mathematical symbol whose descriptive Unicode name is “greater-than closed by curve above slanted equal.” In practice, it functions as a specialized inequality/ordering operator rather than a standard “>” sign. Because it’s part of the Unicode Math block, it’s most relevant when you need a distinct symbol for formal logic, set/order relations, or typeset mathematical expressions that go beyond basic inequalities. Use it when you specifically intend this richer glyph (not the common greater-than) and when your font and rendering system support Unicode characters in the Mathematical range.
Common uses
- •Writing formal math expressions that require this specific inequality-style glyph
- •Typesetting specialized logic or ordering relations in documents (LaTeX/Unicode math workflows)
- •Labeling diagrams or notation keys in math and computer science materials
- •Rendering math symbols in HTML/CSS/JS when you need the exact Unicode character
- •Designing educational or reference content that distinguishes similar inequality operators
Examples
⪩ Greater-than Closed By Curve Above Slanted Equal
- ⪩Assume ⪩ defines the required ordering relation in the system.
- ⪩We write A ⪩ B to indicate the stronger comparison used here.
- ⪩The notation ⪩ appears in the following theorem statement.
- ⪩For this case, the inequality is represented by ⪩ rather than >.
- ⪩In the diagram, “⪩” marks the direction of the relation.

Use it when you specifically intend this richer glyph (not the common greater-than) and when your font and rendering system support Unicode characters in the Mathematical range.
What is the Unicode code point for ⪩?
⪩ is Unicode code point U+2AA9.
How can I copy ⪩ into my work?
You can copy the character directly from this page, or use the HTML entity ⪩ / CSS escape \\2AA9 / JavaScript escape \\u{2AA9}.
Is ⪩ the same as the standard greater-than sign (>)?
No. ⪩ is a different, specialized mathematical symbol. Use it only when you specifically need the glyph represented by U+2AA9.
Will ⪩ display correctly everywhere?
It depends on font support and rendering. If a font lacks the character, you may see a missing-glyph box instead of ⪩.
