When to use Greater Than or Equal
Non-strict order relation In source, start from the exact \geq command instead of imitating the rendered glyph with Unicode characters or manual spacing. This keeps the expression editable and gives the renderer enough structure to apply mathematical spacing correctly.
Syntax
\geqThe documented syntax belongs to Core LaTeX. Keep every required argument, brace pair, and environment boundary intact when moving the command between an editor, Markdown processor, notebook, or publishing system.
Example
x\geq yRendered output
x ≥ y
Copy and compatibility checks
- Copy
\geqexactly; changing its case or removing a leading backslash can turn it into plain text. - Confirm that the destination loads Core LaTeX before relying on this command.
- Render the example once, then inspect grouping, limits, scripts, and spacing before publishing.
