GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO

About this character

The symbol ≥ (U+2265) represents "greater than or equal to," the mathematical comparison operator indicating a value is either larger than or exactly equal to another. It is the counterpart to "less than or equal to" (≤), forming a pair of relational operators widely used in algebra, inequalities, and logical expressions. Historically, the notation was introduced by the French mathematician Pierre Bouguer in 1734, extending the earlier inequality signs. In programming, it often appears as the two-character sequence `>=` in languages like C and Python, while typographically it remains a distinct Unicode codepoint for equations and technical writing. The symbol is also employed in design contexts to denote thresholds, ranges, or bounded lower limits.
