Succeeds or Equivalent To

≿ marks a mathematical relation where the left side succeeds or is equivalent to the right; the exact rule comes from the text using it. It is not a drop-in replacement for ordinary numeric ≥.

What ≿ means

No. ≥ compares numbers in their usual order.

≿ belongs to the succeeds-or-equivalent relation family, whose exact rules depend on the definition in the text. Font samples checked as of 2026 show slightly different curves; that changes the drawing, not the character.

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.
