The ≩ (Greater-Than But Not Equal To) symbol is a mathematical operator used to explicitly state that one value is strictly greater than another while firmly ruling out the possibility of them being equal. Although the standard greater-than sign (>) implies the same concept in basic arithmetic, ≩ is used in advanced mathematics and order theory for added emphasis. Visually, it combines a greater-than sign with a struck-through equals sign to eliminate any ambiguity.

In Programming

In standard programming languages, this logical distinction is simply handled using the basic strictly greater-than `>` operator. The ≩ symbol is primarily reserved for mathematical markup languages like LaTeX (using `\gneqq`) to render formal equations and technical documentation.
