Definition

What Is Succeeds Or Equal To?

Succeeds or equal to (≽) is the Mathematical Operators character at Unicode U+227D (SUCCEEDS OR EQUAL TO). In order theory, a ≽ b means a succeeds or equals b. HTML5 provides the named entities &sccue; and &succcurlyeq;.

Remember

Character     ≽
Unicode       U+227D
Named entity  &sccue;  (also &succcurlyeq;)
Hex entity    &#x227D;
Decimal       &#8829;
CSS escape    \227D

All of these produce the same glyph: ≽. Prefer &sccue; for readable HTML; paste ≽ in UTF-8 when convenient.

Reference

Quick Reference

One table for every form you will actually use.

Form	Code	Where it goes
Named entity	`&sccue;`	HTML markup (also `&succcurlyeq;`)
Hex entity	`≽`	HTML markup
Decimal entity	`≽`	HTML markup
Direct character	`≽`	HTML text (UTF-8 default)
CSS escape	`\227D`	Stylesheet `content`

When to Use Which

Situation	Use
Succeeds or equal to	`&sccue;` or `&succcurlyeq;`
Plain succeeds	≻ / `&sc;`
Precedes or equal (reverse)	≼ / `&prcue;`
Succeeds or equivalent	≿
Greater-than or equal	`≥` (≥)
Generated text via `::before` / `::after`	`content: "\227D"`

<!DOCTYPE html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &sccue; (or &succcurlyeq;) is the clearest HTML form for U+227D.

2. Hex: U+227D → ≽ in HTML. Reliable numeric form.

3. Decimal: same code point as 8829 → ≽. Same glyph.

4. Direct: paste ≽ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.

5. CSS: use \227D in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ≽ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Succeeds Or Equal To.

≻

Not plain succeeds

&sc; (U+227B) is succeeds without the equality bar. Use ≽ when “or equal” is intended.

≥

Not greater-than or equal

≥ is numeric ≥. Prefer &sccue; for the order-theoretic succeeds-or-equal relation.

&succeq;

Not `&succeq;`

&succeq; maps to U+2AB0 (a different glyph). For U+227D use &sccue; or &succcurlyeq;.

Aliases

`&sccue;` = `&succcurlyeq;`

Both named forms map to U+227D. Pick one and stay consistent.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\227D belongs in CSS. &sccue; / ≽ / ≽ belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &sccue;, not &sccue.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Succeeds or equal to (U+227D) and its entity forms (&sccue;, ≽, ≽, CSS \\227D) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.

✓ Universal support

Succeeds Or Equal To (≽)

Prefer &sccue;, or encode with hex, decimal, or CSS escape — same glyph everywhere.

100% Browser coverage

U+227D / entities Full support

Bottom line: Prefer &sccue; (or &succcurlyeq;) in HTML. Use ≽ / ≽ when a numeric form is required, and \\227D only inside CSS content.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: this mark is U+227D (decimal 8829) — glyph ≽.
HTML: prefer &sccue; (alias &succcurlyeq;), or ≽ / ≽.
CSS: use \227D inside content for generated text.
Meaning: a ≽ b — not the same as ≻, ≥, or &succeq;.

One line: U+227D → &sccue; / ≽ / ≽ / CSS \227D.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I display ≽ in HTML?

Use &sccue; (named), ≽ (hex), ≽ (decimal), type ≽ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \227D in content. Alias: &succcurlyeq;.

What is the Unicode value for this mark?

U+227D (SUCCEEDS OR EQUAL TO). Hex 227D, decimal 8829. It belongs to Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF).

Is there a named HTML entity for U+227D?

Yes. HTML5 defines &sccue; and &succcurlyeq; for this character. Both are equivalent to ≽ and ≽. Note: &succeq; maps to a different code point (U+2AB0).

When should I use U+227D?

Use it in order theory when a succeeds or equals b (a ≽ b). Prefer &sc; for plain succeeds (U+227B) and &prcue; for the reverse relation (U+227C).

What is the difference between HTML code and CSS entity for U+227D?

HTML entities (&sccue;, ≽, or ≽) go in markup. The CSS escape \227D goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).

Is ≽ the same as ≻ or ≥?

No. ≽ is succeeds or equal to (U+227D). ≻ is succeeds (U+227B). ≥ is greater-than or equal to (U+2265).

Did you know?

Succeeds or equal to (≽) is Unicode U+227D (decimal 8829) — SUCCEEDS OR EQUAL TO in Mathematical Operators. HTML5 provides &sccue; (also &succcurlyeq;). In order theory, a &sccue; b means a succeeds or equals b. Plain succeeds is U+227B (&sc;); the reverse is U+227C (&prcue;).
