History & usage: The symbol GREATER-THAN WITH DOT (U+22D7) is part of the Mathematical Operators block. In text, it appears as a greater-than sign with a dot below the tip. This dot helps distinguish it from a plain greater-than in some formulas and notations. The symbol is used when a stricter form of comparison is needed, one that signals a specific relation rather than a simple order. It is present in some mathematical and technical documents, as well as in user interfaces that display formulas. In daily math writing, people rely on standard greater-than, but the dot version shows another relation. The usage is consistent with general math practice: symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. As a result, readers look for the dot to recognize this operator quickly. The dot can reduce ambiguity when multiple symbols appear in a single line. Over time, the symbol has been adopted in niche fields and software that track precise relations. Understanding this symbol helps clear misreadings in complex formulas.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+22D7 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
