Neither Less-than Nor Equal To Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Neither Less-than Nor Equal To because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2270, which you can use as ≰ in HTML, \2270 in CSS, or type with Alt+8816 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Neither Less-than Nor Equal To is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2270 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Neither Less-than Nor Equal To has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ≰ or the hex escape ≰.
