HTML Entity for Equal To Succeeds (⋟)
What You'll Learn
How to display the Equal To Succeeds (⋟) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, named entity, and CSS escape methods. This character is U+22DF (EQUAL TO OR SUCCEEDS) in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF)—used when one value equals or succeeds another in order relations, lattice theory, and logic.
Render it with ⋟, ⋟, the named entity ⋟, or CSS escape \22DF. Do not confuse ⋟ with succeeds or equal (≽, U+227D) or with equal to precedes (⋞, ⋞). It is the dual of equal to precedes (⋞).

<head>
<style>
#point:after{
content: "\22DF";
}

⋟ ⋟ vs ⋞ ⋞⋟ ⋟🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
⋟ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 22DF to display this symbol. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.
Decimal HTML Code
⋟ uses the decimal Unicode value 8927 to display the same character.
Named Entity
⋟ is the semantic named entity for equal to or succeeds—easiest to read in order-relation markup.
CSS Entity
\22DF is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.
Same visual result
All four methods produce the glyph: ⋟. Unicode U+22DF in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Use Cases
The Equal To Succeeds (⋟) commonly appears in:
Partial orders where elements equal or succeed one another.
Math and logic courses with lattice and poset notation.
Formal proofs and comparisons in technical writing.
Semantics, type theory, and program-order documentation.
Papers publishing correct operator symbols in HTML.
Math operator and Unicode entity reference pages.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Use
⋟for readable order-relation markup (U+22DF) - Use math-friendly fonts for clear ⋟ rendering
- Serve pages with UTF-8 (
<meta charset="utf-8">) - Pair with
⋞(⋞) when both directions matter - Add context when the symbol carries semantic meaning
Don’t
- Confuse ⋟ (
⋟) with ⋞ (⋞, precedes) - Use ⋟ when ≽ (succeeds or equal) is the intended symbol
- Put CSS escape
\22DFin HTML text nodes - Assume all fonts distinguish ⋟ and ≽ clearly
- Mix entity styles randomly in one file
