Do you know that there are more than 100 less than and greater than symbols available? Though most of these symbols are in mathematical context, there are many symbols we can use for normal context. For example, there are symbols for much less than ≪ and very much less than ⋘. Good part is that you can type all these less than and greater than symbols using keyboard shortcut.

How to Type in Windows?
There are many ways to insert less than and greater than symbols in Windows based applications.
Using Alt Decimal Code
Hold one of the alt keys on your keyboard and type the decimal code from the above table. For example, alt + 8805 will make greater than or equal to symbol like ≥. However, you need to type the code using number pad on your keyboard and not with regular number keys.
Using Hex Code Shortcut
If decimal codes are not working then you can try hexadecimal code as given in the above table. Type the hex code and press alt + x keys to make the symbol. For example, 2A7D alt + x will make less than or slanted equal to symbol like ⩽. However, this method will only work on Microsoft Word documents in Windows computer.
How to Type in Mac?
Similar to Windows PC, you have couple of options in Mac as well.
Alt Code for Mac
Hold one of the option or alt code on your keyboard and type the hex code. This will make the required symbol on your documents and other applications. For example, option + 2A89 less than and not approximate symbol like ⪉. However, you should first switch the keyboard source to Unicode Hex Input for this method to work. You can easily toggle the input method from the top menu bar icon.
Character Viewer in Mac
The easiest method to insert less than and greater than symbols in Mac is to use the Character Viewer app.
- Go to “Edit > Emoji & Symbols” menu from any application to open Character Viewer app.
- Search for less or greater and find relevant symbols.
- Choose the font variation and double click to insert on the cursor position.
How to Type in HTML Documents?
You can use either decimal or hexadecimal code to insert the symbols in HTML documents. Use the below format and change the code for the corresponding symbol.
