History & usage: LESS-THAN ABOVE SLANTED EQUAL ABOVE GREATER-THAN ABOVE SLANTED EQUAL is a symbol in the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. It is used to express a chain of relations in formulas and user interfaces. The character conveys a combined idea of comparison and order between elements. In plain math work, it appears where a single relation is not enough and multiple steps must be shown. The symbol is designed for compact notation and quick reading. It helps programmers and mathematicians show a sequence of checks within one symbol. Historians note that many such operators were created to simplify complex ideas in logic and math notation. The name keeps the parts clear: less-than, greater-than, and slanted equal signs appear in a stacked form. Users may see it in advanced formulas, algorithm descriptions, or UI tools that display relational constraints. In practice, it supports precise communication without extra words. The symbol stands alongside other operators that share a goal: to mark how items compare in a compact way. It remains part of standard sets used in math and related fields.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2A93 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.
