Greater-Than Or Equal To (≥) is the Unicode character U+2265, formally named GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO. The formal name identifies an equality-related relation, with any modifiers in the name selecting a specific equality variant. A separately encoded comparison target is ≤ Less-Than Or Equal To (U+2264).
The mathematical identity encoded by ≥
≥ belongs to an equality-related relation family; the exact formal name determines which equality variant has been encoded.
The full Unicode name is the safe automatic description of this mathematical relation; unsupported domain-specific meanings still require reviewed evidence.
For a different unknown mark, try what is this character ≥? and identify the character from its glyph, Unicode value, or appearance.
How ≥ Is Encoded
U+2265 = decimal 8805 = HTML ≥ / ≥. A Unicode escape-style form is u2265. Its UTF-8 bytes are E2 89 A5.
Use these identifiers in markup, source code, exports, or character diagnostics when the glyph alone is not enough.
The formal-name difference between ≥ and ≤
≥ (U+2265) and ≤ (U+2264) are separate Unicode records whose formal names identify different members of the same mathematical family.
For U+2265, compare the complete formal name before substituting another family member.
