Greater-than over equal to (≧) is the Unicode character at U+2267 in Mathematical Operators. Official name: GREATER-THAN OVER EQUAL TO. It is related to ≥ but is a different code point — not a drop-in alias for ≥.
Remember

CSS escape \2267
Meaning greater-than over equal to
Not the same ≥ (≥) · ≦ (≦) · ⋝ (equal to or greater-than)
Prefer ≧ in HTML. Alternatives: ≧, ≧, or paste ≧ in a UTF-8 document. For everyday ≥, use ≥.
Built with Named: ≧
Built with Hex: ≧
Built with Decimal: ≧
Built with CSS: ≧
Typed: ≧
Sample: a ≧ b
Common ≥ (different): ≥
How It Works
1. Named:≧ is the HTML5 name for U+2267 → ≧. Note the capital E.
2. Hex:≧ inserts the same code point. Same visual as named.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8807 → ≧.
4. CSS: use \2267 in content (not an HTML entity). Four hex digits are enough; keep a space or quote end after the escape if more digits follow.
5. Typed: paste ≧ in a UTF-8 document when your editor supports it. Compare with ≥ for the common ≥ glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with greater-than over equal to.
Name
Prefer ≧
HTML5 defines ≧ (capital E). Do not invent ≥ for this glyph — ≥ is U+2265.
Case
Capital E matters
≧ and ≥ are different entities for different characters. Match spelling exactly.
vs ≥
Not a synonym for ≥
Most tutorials mean ≥ when they say “greater than or equal.” That is ≥. Use ≧ only when you need ≧.
Mirror
Mirror form exists
Less-than over equal to is ≦ (U+2266) — a different character from U+2267.
Font
Check math font coverage
Some fonts render ≧ and ≥ similarly; others look clearly different. Prefer a math-capable font for precision.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2267 belongs in CSS strings. ≧ / ≧ / ≧ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ≧, not &gE.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Greater-than over equal to (U+2267) and its entity forms (≧, ≧, ≧, CSS \\2267) are supported in all mainstream browsers that implement Unicode and HTML entities. Glyph visibility depends on font coverage.
✓ Universal entity support
Greater Than Over Equal To (≧)
Encode with named, hex, decimal, CSS escape, or paste the character — same code point everywhere encoding is supported.

Bottom line: Prefer ≧ in HTML. Use ≧ / ≧ when numeric form is required, and \\2267 only inside CSS content. For everyday ≥, use ≥.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: this glyph is U+2267 (decimal 8807) — ≧.
HTML: prefer ≧ — also ≧ / ≧.
CSS: use \2267 inside content for generated text.
Meaning: ≧ ≠ ≥ — use ≥ for everyday greater-or-equal.
Prefer ≧ (named). You can also use ≧ (hex), ≧ (decimal), paste ≧ in a UTF-8 document, or the CSS escape \2267 in content.
U+2267 (GREATER-THAN OVER EQUAL TO). Hex 2267, decimal 8807. It belongs to Mathematical Operators.
Yes. HTML5 defines ≧ for U+2267 (capital E). Prefer it when you want this specific glyph. For everyday ≥, use ≥ (U+2265).
Use ≧ when you specifically need GREATER-THAN OVER EQUAL TO (≧). Use ≥ for the common greater-than or equal to (≥) in most inequalities.
HTML entities (≧, ≧, or ≧) go in markup. The CSS escape \2267 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. ≧ is U+2267. ≥ is U+2265 (≥). ⋝ is U+22DD (no named entity). Different code points and shapes.

Did you know?
Greater-than over equal to is Unicode U+2267 (decimal 8807) — glyph ≧ (GREATER-THAN OVER EQUAL TO) in Mathematical Operators. HTML5 named entity: ≧. Prefer ≧ in HTML. The everyday ≥ is U+2265 with ≥ — a different character (slanted vs over-equal layout).
