History & usage: The symbol EQUAL TO OR SUCCEEDS has the code point U+22DF in the Mathematical Operators block. In usage, it serves as a mathematical operator that can express equality in one form or the idea that one item follows another in a sequence. This makes it useful in formulas, diagrams, and user interfaces where a relation between items must be shown clearly. The symbol appears in contexts where a reader should see that two values are linked by order or comparison, not just strict equality. It helps distinguish a result that is at least as great as another, or that one element comes after another in a chain. The name and code point help developers and readers identify it in fonts and software. In general, common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. The character is part of standard sets used in math notations and digital text. It supports precise communication in technical writing and educational content.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+22DF 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.
