The ≰ (Neither Less-Than Nor Equal To) symbol is a mathematical operator used to indicate a negated inequality. It visually features a standard "less than or equal to" sign with a diagonal slash struck through it. While often logically equivalent to "strictly greater than" (>) in basic arithmetic, this symbol is primarily used in advanced mathematics to denote incomparable elements within partial orders.
