So, you might have heard about > or ≥. But are you ready for...

≩ U+2269 GREATER-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TO

⋛ U+22DB GREATER-THAN EQUAL TO OR LESS-THAN (just remember that ⋛ is not equal to ⋚)

⪌ U+2A8C GREATER-THAN ABOVE DOUBLE-LINE EQUAL ABOVE LESS-THAN (compare to ⪋, ⪒, and ⪑)

And of course, let's not forget the classic ⪔ U+2A94 GREATER-THAN ABOVE SLANTED EQUAL ABOVE LESS-THAN ABOVE SLANTED EQUAL (don't mix that one up with ⪓)

@lcamtuf reminds us of

[skewray@mathstodon.xyz]

@lcamtuf Gotta love unicode. It has every superscripted lower-case letter except q.

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@lcamtuf Many have variants for even MORE fun.

⋚︀ U+22DA U+FE00 – LESS-THAN EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN WITH SLANTED EQUAL

⋛︀ U+22DB U+FE00 – GREATER-THAN EQUAL TO OR LESS-THAN WITH SLANTED EQUAL

(The triple nest ones are neat too)

⫷ U+2AF7 TRIPLE NESTED LESS-THAN
⫸ U+2AF8 TRIPLE NESTED GREATER-THAN

@lcamtuf I dislike this and I don't know why.

[zbrown@floss.social]

@mayintoronto @lcamtuf presumably mostly because it doesn't make any sense?

Why do I need to be told a is not equal to b when I already know it's greater than b? It's definitionally not the same as b! If being the same was an option ≥ would have been used.

At least greater-equal-or-less doesn't seem to violate any rules as I understand them, appears to be utterly pointless but…

@lcamtuf does ⋛ match null values? If you were to do that in SQL with 2 and statements it wouldn't match null

@lcamtuf@infosec.exchange stop bullying me ​​

[andrewmc@mastodon.ie]

@skewray @lcamtuf It has U+107A5 Modifier Letter Small Q now, although recent enough it's still missing from most fonts.

[skewray@mathstodon.xyz]

@AndrewMc @lcamtuf And it looks like like a superscript 'q' even though it isn't called one? How mysterious.
