History & usage: The symbol GREATER-THAN CLOSED BY CURVE (U+2AA7) belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. In history and usage, common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. It appears in mathematical notation to show a relation that is stronger than standard greater-than. In formulas, it can help distinguish strict vs non-strict comparisons when a curve is added to the greater-than sign. In user interfaces, it can appear in icons or controls to imply a related but distinct comparison. It is less common than the standard > sign, but it has a clear meaning in certain fields such as geometry, set theory, and logic. Typographically, it looks like a greater-than sign with a curved tail, which helps users identify it as a different operator. When implementing, fonts and rendering must support the Unicode code point. The symbol is part of the broader set of mathematical operators used to convey precise relations. It remains a niche but recognized option for specialized documents and software.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2AA7 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
