About Greater Than or Equal Sign
The greater than or equal sign (≥) is a mathematical comparison operator meaning "is greater than or equal to." It combines the greater-than sign (>) with the equals sign (=) into a single symbol.
In HTML, insert this symbol using ≥, ≥, or ≥. The named entity ≥ is concise and widely supported. This symbol is commonly used in requirements specifications (e.g., "version ≥ 3.0"), mathematical expressions, and data validation displays.
The greater than or equal sign is part of the Mathematical Operators Unicode block. Like the less than or equal sign (≤), it does not conflict with HTML tag syntax and can be used directly in text content without worrying about breaking the HTML parser.

Screen readers announce it as "greater than or equal to," ensuring accessibility for mathematical content on the web.
