Neither Less-Than Nor Equal To (≰) is the Unicode character U+2270, formally named NEITHER LESS-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 Greater-Than Nor Equal To (U+2271).
The mathematical identity encoded by ≰
≰ 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.
For a different unknown mark, try identify the ≰ symbol and identify the character from its glyph, Unicode value, or appearance.
How ≰ Is Encoded
U+2270 = decimal 8816 = HTML ≰ / ≰. A Unicode escape-style form is u2270. Its UTF-8 bytes are E2 89 B0.
Use these identifiers in markup, source code, exports, or character diagnostics when the glyph alone is not enough.
Why U+2270 and U+2271 remain separate characters
≰ (U+2270) and ≱ (U+2271) are separate Unicode records whose formal names identify different members of the same mathematical family.
For U+2270, compare the complete formal name before substituting another family member.
