Neither Greater-Than Nor Equal To (≱) is the Unicode character U+2271, formally named NEITHER GREATER-THAN NOR EQUAL TO. The formal name identifies a specific logical operator rather than a generic mathematical glyph. A separately encoded comparison target is ≰ Neither Less-Than Nor Equal To (U+2270).
What the formal name says about Neither Greater-Than Nor Equal To
≱ is the Unicode character named for NOR, placing it in the negated-OR operator family rather than the ordinary OR family.
The full Unicode name is the safe automatic description of this logical operator; unsupported domain-specific meanings still require reviewed evidence.

How ≱ Is Encoded
U+2271 = decimal 8817 = HTML ≱ / ≱. A Unicode escape-style form is u2271. Its UTF-8 bytes are E2 89 B1.
Use these identifiers in markup, source code, exports, or character diagnostics when the glyph alone is not enough.
≱ versus ≰: which encoded operator is present?
≱ (U+2271) and ≰ (U+2270) are separate Unicode records whose formal names identify different members of the same mathematical family.
For U+2271, compare the complete formal name before substituting another family member.
