History & usage: SUCCEEDS ABOVE ALMOST EQUAL TO is a sign in the set of Supplemental Mathematical Operators. It has the codepoint U+2AB8. The symbol is used in math to show a relation between two quantities. It means that one value is greater than the other and is close to equal. This makes it useful in formulas where precision is important but not exact equality. In practice, authors use it to compare results in proofs or to show a near match in data. It also appears in user interfaces where quick, clear comparisons are needed. Programmers may print it in equations or tables to indicate a stated order. The symbol is part of common math notation, not tied to a single field. It helps convey nuanced comparisons with a simple sign. When teaching, teachers use it to explain how one idea relates to another near equality. Overall, the symbol serves as a compact way to express a near-equal order relation in math and UI contexts.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2AB8 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.
