The ≫ symbol, formally known as "Much Greater-Than," is a mathematical operator used to indicate that one value is significantly larger than another. In physics and engineering, it often implies that the smaller value is negligible enough to be ignored in an equation. Beyond mathematics, it occasionally appears in user interfaces as a stylized "fast-forward" or "next" indicator, though it should not be confused with the visually similar right-pointing double quotation mark (»).

In Programming
In source code, developers generally use two standard greater-than signs (>>) for the bitwise right-shift operator rather than this single Unicode character. The ≫ symbol is mostly reserved for mathematical documentation, rendering physics equations, and LaTeX formatting (using \gg).
