This symbol shows a relation where one side is less than or equal to the other, with a double line to emphasize the relation. In history, it grew from the need to express stronger inequality and clear comparisons in technical writing. It sits alongside similar signs for less than or equal to and greater than or equal to. In math, it helps represent bounds and constraints without extra words. In user interfaces, it can label limits, thresholds, or conditions in dashboards and calculators. It is a part of standard notation in many fields, including science and engineering. Usage atoms describe its role as a common symbol that indicates operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. This helps readers quickly understand the relation without reading long sentences. The symbol supports precise communication in both printed formulas and digital tools.

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.
