HTML Entity for Does Not Succeed Or Equal (⋡)
What You'll Learn
How to display the Does Not Succeed Or Equal symbol (⋡) in HTML using named, hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS entity methods. This character is U+22E1 (DOES NOT SUCCEED OR EQUAL) in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF) and denotes that one element does not succeed or equal another in an order—the negation of “succeeds or equal” (⋟, ≽).
Render it with the named entity ⋡, ⋡, ⋡, or CSS escape \22E1 in the content property. Do not confuse with ⊁ (does not succeed, U+2281) or ∤ (does not divide, U+2224).

🧠 How It Works
Named Entity
⋡ is the HTML named entity for Does Not Succeed Or Equal — the negation of ≽ (succeeds or equal, ⋟).
Hexadecimal Code
⋡ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 22E1. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.
Decimal HTML Code
⋡ uses the decimal Unicode value 8929 to display the same character.
CSS Entity
\22E1 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.
Same visual result
All four methods produce: ⋡. Unicode U+22E1 is the does-not-succeed-or-equal relation. For succeeds or equal (⋟), use ≽.
Use Cases
The symbol (⋡) commonly appears in the following scenarios:
When a ⋡ b means a does not succeed or equal b in a order relation.
Orders where ⋟ and ⋡ denote succeeds-or-equal and its negation.
Discrete math courses teaching order relations and relation symbols.
Web pages rendering mathematical notation with proper Unicode relations.
Entity references for order and comparison symbols in HTML.
HTML entity references for education and research.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Use
⋡for readable HTML source - Pair with
≽(⋟) when teaching succeeds-or-equal pairs - Use fonts that cover Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF)
- Pair with text or ARIA (“does not succeed or equal”)
- Pick one entity style per project for consistency
Don’t
- Confuse
⋡with⊁(does not succeed) or∤ - Swap
⋡and≽(different relations) - Use CSS escape
\22E1inside HTML markup - Mix hex, decimal, and named styles randomly in one file
- Rely on the symbol alone without accessible description
