History & usage: The character TRIPLE NESTED GREATER-THAN, with code point U+2AF8, belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. It is used as a symbol in math and in user interfaces to show a triple nested greater-than relation. The name and symbol help users recognize a layered comparison that goes beyond a standard greater-than. In practice, designers place it in formulas, charts, and tool panels to convey a stronger or more complex ordering. The symbol communicates that one value is greater than another in a sequence of steps or levels. When reading code or formulas, developers may treat it as a single token that stands for a specific relational relation. The usage atom notes that common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. This helps explain why the symbol appears in technical documents and educational material. As with other operator symbols, it benefits from clear typography and consistent spacing to avoid confusion. The helper character supports precision in mathematical notation and UI design.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2AF8 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.
