Succeeds Under Relation (⊱) is the Unicode character U+22B1, formally named SUCCEEDS UNDER RELATION. SUCCEEDS gives the inverse direction of the related PRECEDES form. UNDER RELATION is part of the formal name, so the code point should be chosen by relation name rather than visual similarity. A separately encoded comparison target is ⊰ Precedes Under Relation (U+22B0).
The succeeds relation encoded by ⊱
⊱ is named for a succeeds relation. Its formal name gives the relation family needed to distinguish it from the corresponding precedes form.
This is the SUCCEEDS member of the UNDER RELATION pair. Replacing it with PRECEDES UNDER RELATION reverses the formal relation direction.

Why U+22B1 and U+22B0 remain separate characters
The SUCCEEDS UNDER RELATION character ⊱ is U+22B1. The comparison character ⊰ is U+22B0 (PRECEDES UNDER RELATION). Choosing between them changes the direction named by the relation.
For U+22B1, SUCCEEDS is the directional word that distinguishes this relation from its inverse.
Code-Point and UTF-8 Forms for ⊱
U+22B1 = decimal 8881 = HTML ⊱ / ⊱. A Unicode escape-style form is u22B1. Its UTF-8 bytes are E2 8A B1.
Use these identifiers in markup, source code, exports, or character diagnostics when the glyph alone is not enough.
