The ≻ symbol, officially named "Succeeds" in Unicode, is a mathematical operator primarily used in order theory and set theory to indicate that one element strictly follows or is "greater than" another in a sequence. Visually resembling a softly curved greater-than sign, it is also a popular choice for creating elegant, text-based decorative arrows and minimalist bullet points in digital typography.
