What ⋞ means
Read it as “equal to or precedes.” In a ⋞ b, the item a equals b or comes before b in the ordering being used. Equality is allowed: the sign does not require a to come strictly before b.
An ordering is a rule for deciding which items come before others. It can apply to mathematical objects, not just numbers. The sign combines an equality mark with a curved precedence mark; the definition accompanying the formula tells you which ordering is intended.
