Less-than Or Slanted Equal To With Dot Inside Symbol
⩿ is a specialized comparison symbol meaning “less than or slanted equal to” with a dot inside.
U+2A7F
⩿ is a Unicode math character used to express a specific form of “less-than or equal” comparison. It’s commonly found in typography and math notation where a distinct symbol is preferred. You can copy it directly or use its Unicode code point.
Less-than Or Slanted Equal To With Dot Inside Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⩿ has the Unicode name “LESS-THAN OR SLANTED EQUAL TO WITH DOT INSIDE” (U+2A7F). In mathematical contexts, it denotes a relationship of the form “less-than or slanted equal to,” where the dot inside gives the character a distinct visual meaning from other less-than-or-equal variants. Compared with ordinary ≤, it’s a more specific comparison glyph often used in specialized notation sets, educational materials, or typesetting systems that support extended comparison symbols. If you need a precise symbol rather than a generic ≤, ⩿ helps maintain correctness and visual consistency.
