🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
≧ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 2267 to display the symbol. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

CSS Entity
\2267 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.
Same visual result
All three methods produce ≧. No named entity; use ≥ for ≥. Next: Greater Than With Dot.
Use Cases
The Greater Than Over Equal To symbol (≧) is commonly used in:
Inequalities where the over-equal glyph is required (e.g. x ≧ 0).
Partial orders and notation that specify this typographic form.
Academic papers and locale-specific math typography.
Specifications mirroring Unicode Mathematical Operators.
When equal must appear above greater-than, not below.
HTML entity lists and Unicode operator documentation.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Use
≥when the standard ≥ glyph is acceptable - Use ≧ only when your notation requires this layout
- Use math fonts (Cambria Math, Noto Sans Math) for reliable rendering
- Explain inequalities in text for accessibility
- Serve pages with UTF-8 (
<meta charset="utf-8">)
Don’t
- Assume a named entity exists (U+2267 has none)
- Mix ≧ and ≥ randomly without a notation reason
- Put CSS escape
\2267in HTML text nodes - Confuse ≧ with
≤(≤, less-than-or-equal) - Rely on the symbol alone for screen reader users
