Succeeds or equivalent to (≿) is the Mathematical Operators character at Unicode U+227F (SUCCEEDS OR EQUIVALENT TO). In order theory, a ≿ b means a succeeds or is equivalent to b. HTML5 provides the named entities ≿ and ≿.
Remember
Character ≿
Unicode U+227F
Named entity ≿ (also ≿)
Hex entity ≿
Decimal ≿
CSS escape \227F
All of these produce the same glyph: ≿. Prefer ≿ for readable HTML; paste ≿ in UTF-8 when convenient.
Using Named Entity: ≿
Using Hex Code: ≿
Using HTML Code: ≿
Using Direct Character: ≿
Using CSS Entity: ≿
Example: a ≿ b
How It Works
1. Named:≿ (or ≿) is the clearest HTML form for U+227F.
2. Hex:U+227F → ≿ in HTML. Reliable numeric form.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8831 → ≿. Same glyph.
4. Direct: paste ≿ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
5. CSS: use \227F in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ≿ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Succeeds Or Equivalent To.
≽
Not succeeds or equal
≽ (U+227D) is succeeds or equal to. ≿ is succeeds or equivalent to — a different relation.
≻
Not plain succeeds
≻ (U+227B) is the basic succeeds relation without the equivalence sense.
≾
Not precedes or equivalent
≾ (U+227E is the reverse relation. a ≿ b is not the same as a ≾ b.
Aliases
≿ = ≿
Both named forms map to U+227F. Pick one and stay consistent.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\227F belongs in CSS. ≿ / ≿ / ≿ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ≿, not &scsim.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Succeeds or equivalent to (U+227F) and its entity forms (≿, ≿, ≿, CSS \\227F) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.
✓ Universal support
Succeeds Or Equivalent To (≿)
Prefer ≿, or encode with hex, decimal, or CSS escape — same glyph everywhere.

Bottom line: Prefer ≿ (or ≿) in HTML. Use ≿ / ≿ when a numeric form is required, and \\227F only inside CSS content.

Key Takeaways
Unicode: this mark is U+227F (decimal 8831) — glyph ≿.
HTML: prefer ≿ (alias ≿), or ≿ / ≿.
Use ≿ (named), ≿ (hex), ≿ (decimal), type ≿ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \227F in content. Alias: ≿.
U+227F (SUCCEEDS OR EQUIVALENT TO). Hex 227F, decimal 8831. It belongs to Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. HTML5 defines ≿ and ≿ for this character. Both are equivalent to ≿ and ≿.
Use it in order theory when a succeeds or is equivalent to b (a ≿ b). Prefer ≽ for succeeds or equal to (U+227D) and ≾ for the reverse relation (U+227E).
HTML entities (≿, ≿, or ≿) go in markup. The CSS escape \227F goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. ≿ is succeeds or equivalent to (U+227F). ≽ is succeeds or equal to (U+227D). ≻ is succeeds (U+227B).

Did you know?
Succeeds or equivalent to (≿) is Unicode U+227F (decimal 8831) — SUCCEEDS OR EQUIVALENT TO in Mathematical Operators. HTML5 provides ≿ (also ≿). In order theory, a ≿ b means a succeeds or is equivalent to b. Succeeds or equal is U+227D (≽); the reverse is U+227E (≾).
