Less-than Over Equal To Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Less-than Over Equal To because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2266, which you can use as ≦ in HTML, \2266 in CSS, or type with Alt+8806 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Less-than Over Equal To is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2266 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Less-than Over Equal To has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ≦ or the hex escape ≦.
