History & usage: The SLANTED EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN symbol (U+2A96) is part of the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. It represents a relation that is a blend of equality and a greater-than style. The character belongs to the Common script and is used in mathematical work and related interfaces. In text and formulas, this symbol helps convey a precise relation where the comparison is both slanted and greater-than. Designers and scholars may choose it when a standard greater-than sign or an equal sign does not fully capture the idea needed in a formula. The symbol is listed with other math operators to aid writers, teachers, and software that handle mathematics. Its intended use is practical for documenting relations in equations, proofs, and user interfaces that require compact notation. Because many systems support a full range of operators, this symbol can appear in digital formulas and typeset math. The emphasis in usage is on clear, unambiguous comparison signs within formal content and technical documents. It is one of several symbols that help communicate precise relations in math text.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2A96 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.
