The greater than or equal to symbol (≥) is a mathematical operator used to denote an inequality where one value is larger than or exactly the same as another. Belonging to the Mathematical Operators Unicode block, it serves as a fundamental relational symbol in arithmetic, logic, and data analysis. While mostly found in textbooks and equations, it frequently appears in everyday digital text to clearly express minimum limits or requirements, such as "Age ≥ 18".

In Programming

Most standard programming languages require the two-character sequence `>=` for relational evaluations rather than the single Unicode symbol. However, mathematically focused languages like Julia, as well as specialized typesetting environments like LaTeX, fully support the native `≥` character for cleaner syntax.
