Greater Than or Equal To Symbol
Copy ≥ or ≤. Build a comparison below. Copy ≥ or ≤, or turn a threshold into a ready-to-paste comparison.

At least includes the boundary
Use x ≥ 10 when 10 is allowed and every value above 10 is allowed. Use x > 10 when the value must be strictly greater than 10. The extra line changes whether the endpoint belongs to the set, so it is not just decoration.
For an upper limit, x ≤ 10 means at most 10. The between option produces a ≤ x ≤ b and includes both endpoints. This writer creates notation; it does not solve an inequality or decide whether a real-world rule uses inclusive limits.
≥ versus >= in code and spreadsheets
The Unicode character ≥ is U+2265; ≤ is U+2264. HTML uses ≥ and ≤, while common LaTeX commands are \ge and \le. The symbols look like one character and can be copied as one.
Programming languages and spreadsheet formulas often require the two ASCII characters >= or <=. Copying the pretty Unicode symbol into a formula may cause an error. Use the syntax required by the application, not a visual substitute.
Keyboard shortcuts and code formats
On Windows in Microsoft Word, type the character's hexadecimal code and press Alt + X. This is a Word shortcut, not a universal browser shortcut. On a Mac, open Character Viewer and search for the character's name. On a phone, copying a character above avoids switching keyboard layouts.
Plain-text symbols work in ordinary text fields. LaTeX commands require a math environment; pasting a command into a chat does not automatically typeset it. HTML entities are for source code, not a replacement for the character in a normal message.

Frequently asked questions
What is the greater than or equal to symbol?
≥ means the left value is larger than or equal to the right value. For example, x ≥ 5 includes 5.
What symbol means at most?
≤ means less than or equal to. An upper limit of 10 can be written x ≤ 10.
How do I type ≥ in Word?
In Word on Windows, type 2265 and press Alt + X. Use 2264 for ≤, or copy either character above.
Can I paste ≥ into an Excel formula?
Use >= in Excel comparisons, such as =A1>=10. The single Unicode character ≥ is useful in labels but is not the formula operator.
