Less-than Above Double-line Equal Above Greater-than Symbol
⪋ is a specialized math symbol combining “less-than”, “double-line equal”, and “greater-than” in one stacked glyph.
U+2A8B
⪋ (U+2A8B) is a rare Unicode math symbol. It’s best used when you need a very specific stacked relational/equality notation in typesetting or markup.
Less-than Above Double-line Equal Above Greater-than Symbol Meaning
⪋ is the Unicode symbol named “LESS-THAN ABOVE DOUBLE-LINE EQUAL ABOVE GREATER-THAN” (U+2A8B). Visually, it stacks a less-than relation above a double-line equal sign, with a greater-than relation below. In practice, it’s typically used in mathematical or technical contexts where a combined or special relational/equality structure is required in a single symbol rather than separate characters. Because it’s uncommon in everyday text, it’s most useful for equation authors, math notation layouts, and developers working with Unicode symbols who need an exact code point rather than a visually similar approximation.
Common uses
- •Preparing precise mathematical notation in Unicode-capable documents
- •Labeling or annotating custom equation layouts in design tools
- •Embedding the exact symbol in HTML/CSS/JS for consistent rendering
- •Creating educational or reference materials for advanced math notation
- •Publishing technical text where typographic fidelity matters
