⋡

does not succeed or equal

Does Not Succeed or Equal

In the ordering being used, ⋡ says the left side neither follows nor equals the right. It is a formal mathematics and logic operator, not a general not-equal sign. Its slash negates the entire succeeds-or-equal relation.

What ⋡ means

It rejects both “left follows right” and “left equals right.” For a ⋡ b, neither part of a ≽ b holds. It is not interchangeable with a ≠ b: that sign tests equality alone.

Unicode's canonical decomposition writes ⋡ as ≽ followed by U+0338, a combining long solidus overlay drawn through the relation. The reverse-direction counterpart ⋠ says the left side does not precede or equal the right.

A specialist operator for formal mathematics and logic, not casual punctuation.

Do not use it as the plain not-equal sign; it negates a specific ordering relation.

Don't confuse it with

4
≽
Succeeds Or Equal To
Unlike ⋡, this states the succeeds-or-equal relation positively.
⋠
Does Not Precede Or Equal
It reverses the direction: it denies precedes-or-equal, not succeeds-or-equal.
⊁
Does Not Succeed
It negates succeeds without the equal case; ⋡ rejects equality too.
≠
Not Equal To
It tests equality alone; it does not negate an ordering relation.

Why does ⋡ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
