Does not precede or equal (⋠) is the Unicode character at U+22E0 in the Mathematical Operators block. Official name: DOES NOT PRECEDE OR EQUAL. In order theory, a ⋠ b means a does not precede or equal b.

Prefer ⋠ in HTML markup (aliases: &npreccurlyeq;, ⋠). You can also type ⋠ in UTF-8, or use numeric forms when needed.

How It Works
1. Named:⋠ is the HTML5 name for U+22E0 → ⋠. Best default in markup.
2. Hex:U+22E0 → ⋠ in HTML. Same glyph as the named form.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8928 → ⋠. Same result as hex and named.
4. CSS: use \22E0 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⋠ after the paragraph text.
5. Typed / example: paste ⋠ in UTF-8, or write a ⋠ b. The positive form is ≼ (≼).
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Does Not Precede Or Equal.
≼
Positive vs negation
Use ≼ (≼) for precedes or equal. Use ⋠ (⋠) for the negation.
⋡
Precede vs succeed
⋡ (⋡) is does not succeed or equal. Do not swap it with ⋠.
≺
Not the strict precedes
≺ (≺) is strict precedes. This page is the negated or-equal form.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\22E0 belongs in CSS strings. ⋠ / ⋠ / ⋠ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Math font coverage
Some fonts omit U+22E0. Prefer a font with Mathematical Operators coverage for display.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⋠, not &nprcue.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Does not precede or equal (U+22E0) and its entity forms (⋠, ⋠, ⋠, CSS \\22E0) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on math font coverage.
✓ Universal support

Bottom line: Prefer ⋠ in HTML. Use ⋠ or ⋠ when numeric form is required, and \\22E0 only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: does not precede or equal is U+22E0 (decimal 8928) — glyph ⋠.
HTML: prefer ⋠, or use ⋠ / ⋠ / type ⋠.
CSS: use \22E0 inside content for generated text.
Meaning:⋠ = does not precede or equal — not ≼ or ⋡.
One line:U+22E0 → ⋠ / ⋠ / ⋠ / CSS \22E0 / type ⋠.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ⋠ (named), ⋠ (hex), ⋠ (decimal), type ⋠ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \22E0 in content. Prefer ⋠ in normal HTML.
U+22E0 (DOES NOT PRECEDE OR EQUAL). Hex 22E0, decimal 8928. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. Use ⋠ (preferred), or aliases &npreccurlyeq; and ⋠. Numeric forms ⋠ and ⋠ also work.
Use it in order theory when a does not precede or equal b (a ⋠ b). For the positive relation, use U+227C (≼).
HTML entities (⋠, ⋠, or ⋠) go in markup. The CSS escape \22E0 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. ⋠ (⋠) is the negation. ≼ (≼) is precedes or equal. ⋡ (⋡) is does not succeed or equal.

Did you know?
Does not precede or equal is Unicode U+22E0 (decimal 8928) — glyph ⋠ in the Mathematical Operators block. HTML5 names it ⋠ (also &npreccurlyeq;, ⋠). It is the negation of precedes or equal to ≼ (≼). The succeeds counterpart is ⋡ (⋡).
