Neither Greater-than Nor Equal To Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Neither Greater-than Nor Equal To because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2271, which you can use as ≱ in HTML, \2271 in CSS, or type with Alt+8817 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Neither Greater-than Nor Equal To is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2271 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Neither Greater-than Nor Equal To has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ≱ or the hex escape ≱.
