The "not less-than" symbol (≮) is a mathematical operator indicating that one value is not strictly smaller than another. While it is logically equivalent to "greater than or equal to" (≥) in standard arithmetic, mathematicians use ≮ specifically in partial orders where variables or sets might not be directly comparable. You will typically spot this symbol in advanced math textbooks, computer science logic proofs, and technical academic papers.
