Double-Line Slanted Equal to or Greater-Than ⪜

⪜ (U+2A9C) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.

What it is and where it’s used: Double-Line Slanted Equal to or Greater-Than is part of the Symbols family (block: Supplemental Mathematical Operators). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.

History & usage: In history, the Double-Line Slanted Equal To Or Greater-Than is part of the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. It appears in mathematical texts and in software for formulas and comparisons. The symbol combines elements of equality and inequality, signaling that one side is at least as large as the other. In many fonts and encoding plans, it is used when a standard greater-than-or-equal symbol would not clearly convey the nuance of a double line. This helps clarify comparisons in complex equations and user interfaces. It is a mathematical operator that signals a relation between values, not a mere order. In documentation and math editors, the symbol is treated as a binary operator. It is supported in Unicode and can be typed with its code point U+2A9C. In practice, programmers and mathematicians rely on such symbols to communicate precise conditions in formulas, algorithms, and dashboards. By design, common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2A9C 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.
