Larger and smaller equal sign in Word: This is how it works

Use the following options to enter the greater-than-equal (≥) and less-than-equal (≤) characters in Word.

• Press Insert in the top bar and then navigate to Symbol. Now you can insert both special characters directly into your Word document.

• Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts. For less-than-equal, you need to hold down Alt and type 8804 on your numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard.

• For Larger-Equal, hold down Alt and type 8805.

• On macOS, you need the combination of Alt and ☺ for the less-than-equal character. To create the greater-than-equal sign, use Alt, Shift, and ☺.
