⋚ (U+22DA) is the “less-than equal to or greater-than” relational symbol used in math notation.
U+22DA
The symbol ⋚ represents a combined relational idea in mathematical expressions. It’s useful when you need a compact notation for comparisons. Below you’ll find meaning, practical uses, and reliable copy/paste variants.
Less-than Equal To Or Greater-than Symbol Meaning
The ⋚ symbol is named “LESS-THAN EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN” and has Unicode codepoint U+22DA. In typical mathematical usage, it expresses a combined relationship that includes both “less-than or equal to” and “greater-than,” depending on the context of the equation or inequality system. Because it’s a specialized relational operator, it’s most often seen in set-builder notation, formal comparisons, and typography for documents that require precise mathematical symbols. If you’re typing on platforms that lack the glyph, copying from this page (or using a Unicode escape) helps ensure consistent rendering.
Common uses
- •Set-builder or interval-style definitions that combine “≤” and “>” conditions
- •Math notes or lecture slides where a compact relational operator is preferred
- •Template-based document writing for technical reports and textbooks
- •Programmer documentation and specs that include formal comparison notation
- •Designing math-heavy UI text (e.g., equation editors, badges, and labels)
