Similar Above Greater-Than Above Equals Sign ⪠

(U+2AA0) 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: Similar Above Greater-Than Above Equals Sign 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: The symbol SIMILAR ABOVE GREATER-THAN ABOVE EQUALS SIGN is a character in the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. It is used as a mathematical relation in formulas and user interfaces. The name describes its shape and the relations it combines. In history, this symbol appeared as part of the extended set of operators added to Unicode to support math notation beyond basic signs. It is supported by many fonts and math typesetting tools. Users may see it in advanced math documents, software input fields, or apps that display specialized relations. When it is used, it signals a relation that blends similarity with a comparative element and an equality above the other relation. Systems that render math use it to convey a precise, nonstandard relation between items. In practice, readers and students encounter it alongside other operators in formulas or UI controls for choosing a relation. The symbol thus serves as a clear yet niche marker for a specific mathematical idea and remains part of the wider set of symbols that help express complex concepts quickly.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2AA0 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
