Symbols — copy & reference
Greater than or equal to
Used in inequalities, constraints, and conditions throughout engineering and mathematics.
U+2265 \geq
Less than or equal to
Paired with ≥ for expressing ranges, limits, and boundary conditions.
U+2264 \leq
Not equal to
Denotes that two quantities are different. Common in equations and logical expressions.
U+2260 \neq
Approximately equal to
Used when a value is close but not exact. Common in engineering estimations and rounding.
U+2248 \approx
Identical to / Defined as
Means two expressions are identical for all values, or used to define a new quantity.
U+2261 \equiv
Proportional to
Indicates that one quantity varies directly with another. Used in physics and engineering laws.
U+221D \propto
Much greater than
Indicates one quantity is significantly larger than another. Used in approximations.
U+226B \gg
Much less than
Indicates one quantity is significantly smaller than another. Used in limit approximations.
U+226A \ll
Asymptotically equal
Similar to ≈ but implies convergence in limiting cases. Used in asymptotic analysis.
