EDIT Relational Operator The character is one of five relational operators in mathematics. They have the function of specifying a comparison between two values. The others are:

U+003C < Less-than Sign
U+003D = Equals Sign
U+2264 ≤ Less-than Or Equal To
U+2265 ≥ Greater-than Or Equal To
 
EDIT Mathematics The amount to the left of the character is bigger than the amount to the right of the character.
