U+2273 Greater-Than Or Equivalent To

U+2273 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+2200 to U+22FF Mathematical Operators in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is mirrored into Less-Than Or Equivalent To. The word that U+2273 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The CLDR project calls this character “greater-than equivalent” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: equivalent, greater-than, inequality, mathematics.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

An approximation is anything that is intentionally similar but not exactly equal to something else.
