Equal to succeeds (⋟) is the Unicode character at U+22DF in Mathematical Operators. Official name: EQUAL TO OR SUCCEEDS. It is an order relation used in formal math and logic, as in a ⋟ b.

Prefer ⋟ in HTML markup. You can also use ⋟ / ⋟, or type ⋟ in a UTF-8 document.

Built with CSS: ⋟
Typed: ⋟
Relation: a ⋟ b
How It Works
1. Named:⋟ is the preferred HTML5 name for U+22DF → ⋟.
2. Hex:⋟ inserts the same code point. Same visual as named.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8927 → ⋟.
4. CSS: use \22DF in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ⋟.
5. Typed: paste ⋟ in a UTF-8 document, or write a relation like <i>a</i> ⋟ <i>b</i>.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Equal To Succeeds.
Name
Prefer ⋟
⋟ is the readable named form for U+22DF. Numeric forms still work when you need them.
⋞
Not ⋞
U+22DE (⋞) is the precedes twin. Use ⋟ only for succeeds.
≽
Not succeeds-or-equal
U+227D (≽ / ≽) looks related but is a different character (≽).
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\22DF belongs in CSS strings. ⋟ / ⋟ / ⋟ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Math font coverage
Some fonts omit Mathematical Operators. Prefer a font with solid math coverage for order relations.
a11y
Add accessible text
Screen readers may not expand ⋟ clearly. Prefer a phrase nearby such as “equal to or succeeds” when the meaning matters.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ⋟, not &cuesc.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Equal to succeeds (U+22DF) and its entity forms (⋟, ⋟, ⋟, CSS \\22DF) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Mathematical Operators font coverage.
✓ Universal support
Equal To Succeeds (⋟)
Encode with named, hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same code point everywhere encoding is supported.

U+22DF / ⋟Full support
Bottom line: Prefer ⋟ in HTML. Use ⋟ / ⋟ when numeric form is required, and \\22DF only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: equal to succeeds is U+22DF (decimal 8927) — glyph ⋟.
HTML: prefer ⋟ (named form).
CSS: use \22DF inside content for generated text.
Meaning: ⋟ ≠ cuepr ⋞ ≠ sccue ≽ ≠ succ ≻.
One line:U+22DF → ⋟ / ⋟ / CSS \22DF.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ⋟ (named), ⋟ (hex), ⋟ (decimal), type ⋟ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \22DF in content.
U+22DF (EQUAL TO OR SUCCEEDS). Hex 22DF, decimal 8927. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. ⋟ is the HTML5 named entity for U+22DF and is usually the most readable choice in markup.
Use it for the “equal to or succeeds” order relation in formal math and logic. Prefer ⋞ for the precedes twin, ≻ for plain succeeds, and ≽ when you need SUCCEEDS OR EQUAL TO (U+227D).
HTML entities (⋟, ⋟, or ⋟) go in markup. The CSS escape \22DF goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. U+22DF is ⋟ (equal to or succeeds). U+22DE is ⋞ (equal to or precedes). U+227D is ≽ (succeeds or equal to).
🤔
Did you know?
Equal to succeeds is Unicode U+22DF (decimal 8927) — glyph ⋟ (EQUAL TO OR SUCCEEDS) in Mathematical Operators. HTML5 names it ⋟. The companion precedes form is ⋞ (⋞, U+22DE). Do not confuse it with ≽ / ≽ (≽, SUCCEEDS OR EQUAL TO).
