Precedes Above Not Almost Equal To Symbol
⪹ is a math symbol meaning “precedes above not almost equal to” (U+2AB9).
U+2AB9
⪹ is a specialized mathematical operator symbol used in formal notation. It combines an order-like “precedes above” idea with a negated “almost equal to” relationship. This page helps you understand it and copy it correctly.
Precedes Above Not Almost Equal To Symbol Meaning
⪹ (Unicode U+2AB9, “PRECEDES ABOVE NOT ALMOST EQUAL TO”) is a mathematical symbol used to express a specific relational statement. In practice, it indicates that one expression is related to another in an “above/before” ordering sense while also explicitly stating that they are not “almost equal.” Because it is a compound operator, you’ll typically see it in technical documents, research writing, and formal math typesetting where authors need precise, standardized symbols rather than ad-hoc wording. When writing or searching for this symbol, rely on its Unicode code point and name to avoid confusion with similar relational symbols.
Common uses
- •Formal math typesetting for specialized relational statements
- •Labeling or annotating steps in proofs where a negated approximate equality is required
- •Writing standardized constraints in technical documents and papers
- •Formatting algebraic or logic-heavy expressions in math software and documents
- •Creating consistent symbols for educational materials on relational operators
Examples
⪹ Precedes Above Not Almost Equal To
- ⪹Let A ⪹ B in the ordering of terms.
- ⪹If X ⪹ Y, then X is not almost equal to Y under the chosen comparison.
- ⪹The relation Z ⪹ W indicates precedence above with a negated approximation.
- ⪹In this system, use ⪹ to show “precedes above” while excluding almost-equality.
- ⪹We write f(t) ⪹ g(t) when the expressions are ordered and not nearly equal.

FAQ
What does ⪹ mean?
⪹ means “precedes above not almost equal to” and is a compound relational operator used in math notation.
What is the Unicode code point for ⪹?
The symbol ⪹ is Unicode U+2AB9.
How can I copy ⪹ into my document?
Copy the character directly (⪹) or insert it using HTML entity ⪹ or Unicode escapes like \\2AB9.
Is ⪹ the same as a simple “not equal to” symbol?
No. ⪹ specifically combines a “precedes above” relationship with “not almost equal to,” which is different from a plain “not equal to” relation.
