Succeeds Or Equivalent To Symbol
≿ means “succeeds or is equivalent to,” often used in math and logic comparisons.
U+227F
The symbol “≿” (Unicode U+227F) is read as “succeeds or equivalent to.” You’ll see it when an expression is at least as large as, or otherwise not smaller than, depending on the context. Use it to make comparisons precise in text, documents, and code.
Succeeds Or Equivalent To Symbol Meaning
“≿” is a comparison symbol whose Unicode name is “SUCCEEDS OR EQUIVALENT TO” (U+227F). In mathematical and logical writing, it typically expresses a “greater-than-or-equal-to”-style relationship, where one quantity/condition is considered at least as true as another (or not less than it). In more formal contexts, it may also be used to indicate an ordering where “equivalent to” is allowed alongside “succeeds,” meaning the left side can match or come after the right side according to the chosen relation. When formatting equations, it helps communicate non-strict comparisons clearly.
Common uses
- •Writing math inequalities that allow equality, like “x ≿ y” to mean x is not less than y.
- •Indicating comparisons in logic or proofs where a relation holds “or equals.”
- •Annotating graphs, tables, or constraints in technical documents using a compact operator.
- •Creating readable specification text for requirements (e.g., “version ≿ 2.0” for minimum versions).
- •Designing educational or UI text where non-strict comparison needs a distinct symbol.
Examples
≿ Succeeds or Equivalent To Symbol
- ≿If x ≿ y, then x is at least as large as y.
- ≿We require a ≿ 0 for the expression to be valid.
- ≿The model outputs are acceptable when score ≿ threshold.
- ≿In the ordering used here, condition P ≿ Q.
- ≿Let f(x) ≿ g(x) for all x in the interval.

FAQ
What does ≿ mean?
It means “succeeds or equivalent to,” commonly used as a non-strict comparison (similar in spirit to “greater-than-or-equal-to” in many math contexts).
What is the Unicode code point for ≿?
≿ is Unicode U+227F.
How can I copy ≿ into HTML?
Use the HTML entity: ≿.
How can I use ≿ in CSS or JavaScript?
CSS escape: \\227F. JavaScript escape: \\u{227F}.
