The ≧ symbol, officially named "Greater-Than Over Equal To," is a mathematical operator indicating that one value is larger than or equal to another. While standard western math typically uses the single-line variant (≥), this specific stacked version is widely favored in East Asian typography and certain academic typesetting conventions. Beyond equations, internet users frequently use ≧ in kaomoji (Japanese emoticons) to represent tightly closed, joyful eyes, such as in the popular (≧◡≦) face.

In Programming
In standard programming languages, comparison operations use the ASCII combination `>=` rather than this Unicode character. The ≧ symbol is primarily used in LaTeX documentation via the `\geqq` command, in code comments, or printed in UI text where specific typographic styling is required.
