This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as higher rank than.
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 Precedes. The word that U+227B forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The CLDR project calls this character “succeeds” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: mathematics, operator, set.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
In mathematical notation, ordered set operators indicate whether an object precedes or succeeds another. These relationship operators are denoted by the unicode symbols U+227A-F, along with symbols located unicode blocks U+228x through U+22Ex.
