History & usage: LESS-THAN ABOVE GREATER-THAN ABOVE DOUBLE-LINE EQUAL is a symbol from the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. Its code point is U+2A91. In plain terms, the symbol combines a less-than sign, a greater-than sign, and a double-line equal mark to express a layered or composite relation. The character is used in math and in user interfaces to convey a specific comparison or ordering rule that is not shown by a simple operator. For example, it can indicate that one quantity is bounded by another in a way that is stronger than a usual inequality, or it can mark a special condition in formulas. The name helps educators and students refer to the glyph clearly when discussing notation. The usage context is limited to common math symbols that indicate operations or comparisons in formulas or interfaces, so it is seen in technical text and software documentation. As with other symbols in this block, it does not replace simple signs but supplements them to convey a precise relation in specialized work.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2A91 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.
