Precedes Above Not Equal To Symbol
⪵ is a math symbol that combines a “precedes above” relation with “not equal to.”
U+2AB5
⪵ (U+2AB5) is a specialized mathematical symbol. It’s used when you need to express a precedence/ordering idea together with a “not equal” condition. This page helps you copy it reliably across tools and code.
Precedes Above Not Equal To Symbol Meaning
⪵ is read as “precedes above not equal to.” As a mathematical operator, it indicates a structured relation: one expression is positioned as “precedes above” another, while also stating that the values are not equal. Because it’s a niche Unicode character, it’s most useful in technical writing, formal math typesetting, and documents that already follow a strict symbol set. When you use it, ensure your font and rendering system support Unicode U+2AB5, especially in math editors, web pages, and code blocks.
Common uses
- •Typesetting formal logic or ordered comparisons in documents
- •Writing math definitions where an ordering relation is combined with “not equal”
- •Labeling constraints in technical notes or specification-style writing
- •Creating consistent notation in academic or STEM presentations
- •Using Unicode math symbols in web content when supported
