The "Succeeds or Equal To" symbol (≽) is a mathematical operator featuring a curly greater-than sign over a single horizontal line. In order theory, it denotes that one element either comes after or is equivalent to another within a specific sequence. Beyond strict mathematics, economists use it to represent "weak preference" in decision theory, and internet users occasionally repurpose its curvy shape to create expressive kaomoji faces.
