Succeeds Or Equal To (≽) is the Unicode character U+227D, formally named SUCCEEDS OR EQUAL TO. 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 Or Equal To (U+227C).
Why ≽ is the succeeds-side counterpart
≽ 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.
If this is not the character you meant, use what symbol is ≽? to identify the mark from pasted text, Unicode, or its visual shape.
≽ versus ≼: which encoded operator is present?
The SUCCEEDS UNDER RELATION character ≽ is U+227D. The comparison character ≼ is U+227C (PRECEDES OR EQUAL TO). Choosing between them changes the direction named by the relation.
For U+227D, SUCCEEDS is the directional word that distinguishes this relation from its inverse.
Encoding ≽ in HTML and Source Text
U+227D = decimal 8829 = HTML ≽ / ≽. A Unicode escape-style form is u227D. Its UTF-8 bytes are E2 89 BD.
Use these identifiers in markup, source code, exports, or character diagnostics when the glyph alone is not enough.
