Succeeds or Equal To

In <code>a ≽ b</code>, <code>a</code> succeeds <code>b</code> or equals it under the order the author has defined. That order may compare preferences, rankings, or positions in a sequence, so the sign does not automatically mean ordinary numeric ≥. Its curved equality mark distinguishes it from the separate single-line form ⪰.

What ≽ means

It says a succeeds b, with equality allowed. The author defines the order being used: it might compare rankings, preferences, or positions in a sequence. In a preference order, a ≽ b means a is at least as preferred as b; the sign alone does not say what is being ordered.

The strict companion ≻ rules out equality. ≺ and ≼ are the corresponding precedes relations in the reverse direction.

How do I type ≽ in LaTeX or HTML?

LaTeX uses \succcurlyeq; HTML accepts ≽ or ≽. Both select this curved-equality form.

Some math editors map \succeq to ⪰ instead. In an editor's symbol list, search for “succeeds or equal” and check the preview. If the glyph appears as a box or a different shape, the font may lack it or substitute a fallback.

Don't confuse it with

⪰

Succeeds Above Single-Line Equals Sign

Compared with ⪰, ≽ has a curved lower equality mark; ⪰ has a straight line and is a separate character.

≻

Succeeds

The strict succeeds relation excludes equality, while ≽ allows it.

≿

Succeeds Or Equivalent To

This means “succeeds or equivalent to”; its lower mark is a tilde, not the equality curve.

Questions people ask

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.
