Greater-Than Or Equal To is a formal mathematical operator or relation symbol used in academic and technical writing — algebra, calculus, logic, or set theory — to express a precise mathematical relationship concisely.
Unicode block: Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF). This large block standardizes the symbols used across algebra, calculus, logic, and set theory, replacing the inconsistent, often hand-drawn notation used before digital typesetting.
At Unicode code point U+2265 (decimal 8805), Greater-Than Or Equal To is the 102nd of 256 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, it is one of the characters in this block with both a documented Windows Alt code and a Mac keyboard shortcut, making it typeable without copy-paste on either platform. Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.
💡 Good to know: Screen readers often mispronounce or skip mathematical symbols — accessible math content typically needs MathML or alt-text descriptions alongside the raw character.
