How to Use and Format the Greater Less Than Symbol
Format ≷ according to the specific role defined for Greater-Than or Less-Than Symbol. The symbol ≷ means greater than or less than, indicating that either inequality direction may apply depending on the case. The encoded form is U+2277, with the Unicode character names GREATER-THAN OR LESS-THAN. Preserve the complete sequence, including capitalization, combining marks, superscripts, punctuation, and unit letters. In case-based inequalities, introduce the notation before the reader must interpret it; in mathematical notes, retain the convention used by the source document; and in comparison tables, verify that the chosen font supports every component.
This page covers U+2277 GREATER-THAN OR LESS-THAN. It is not the separate pair “><,” the less-than-or-greater-than sign ≶, or an ordinary greater-than sign. Use readable surrounding wording when the mark communicates direction, status, quantity, relationship, category, or access. For web publishing, prefer selectable UTF-8 text, test copy-and-paste behavior, and provide an accessible name if the surrounding sentence does not already identify Greater-Than or Less-Than Symbol. Check the final output in the actual website, document, spreadsheet, equation editor, export format, and assistive-technology workflow rather than approving a merely similar-looking glyph.
In case-based inequalities, define ≷ as Greater-Than or Less-Than Symbol before relying on the symbol alone.
For mathematical notes, preserve the full encoded sequence U+2277; do not drop combining marks, superscripts, or component letters.
When preparing comparison tables, apply this intent boundary: This page covers U+2277 GREATER-THAN OR LESS-THAN. It is not the separate pair “><,” the less-than-or-greater-than sign ≶, or an ordinary greater-than sign.
In technical derivations, compare ≷ with ≶ and choose the form whose meaning matches the source.
Encode Greater-Than or Less-Than Symbol as UTF-8 or the numeric references ≷ and ≷ so the published form remains searchable and selectable.
Give ≷ the readable label “Greater-Than or Less-Than Symbol” wherever the surrounding content does not already state the meaning.
Test greater less than symbol in the final font, mobile layout, copy workflow, PDF export, and screen-reader output before release.

Common Greater Less Than Symbol Mistakes
- Using ≶ where ≷ is required changes the intended meaning of Greater-Than or Less-Than Symbol.
- Dropping part of U+2277 while copying greater less than symbol.
- Treating ≷ as interchangeable with > without checking the domain convention.
- Leaving ≷ unexplained in case-based inequalities when readers may assign another meaning.
- Assuming every font or emoji renderer will display Greater-Than or Less-Than Symbol exactly like the preview.
- Converting ≷ into an image even though selectable text is appropriate for this use.
- Ignoring this boundary: This page covers U+2277 GREATER-THAN OR LESS-THAN. It is not the separate pair “><,” the less-than-or-greater-than sign ≶, or an ordinary greater-than sign.
- Using ≷ as the only accessible name of a control, formula token, diagram item, status, or technical label.
