U+2264 Less-Than Or Equal To
U+2264 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Mathematical Operators in the 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. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is mirrored into Greater-Than Or Equal To. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+2264 forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts.
The CLDR project calls this character “less-than or equal” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: equal, equals, inequality, less-than, or.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
≤ may refer to:
- Inequality (mathematics), relation between values; a ≤ b means "a is less than or equal to b"
- Subgroup, a subset of a given group in group theory; H ≤ G is read as "H is a subgroup of G"
