I need to (well, want to) use a symbol that is to \gg
what \ge
is to >
: ,,\gg
or equal``, if you will.
The obvious, quick-and-dirty solution was the following:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{statmath}
\newcommand{\ggeq}{\mathrel{\underline{\gg}}}
\begin{document}
$\bfu \ggeq \bfx$
\end{document}
which produces
Yet I feel that the resulting symbol is visually unappealing. Does anyone -- especially people who know what makes typeset symbols look good in the first place -- have tweaks, or other suggestions?
Or does such a symbol perhaps already exist in some package? I tried detexify, but to no avail, and didn't find anything in the list either.
EDIT: since there seems to be some misunderstanding about the semantics of this symbol, \gg
does not mean ,,much greater than`` in the context in which the new symbol is needed.
EDIT 2: used \mathrel
rather than \mathbin
, which is indeed more sensible; thanks to @mickep for the tip.
\gg
but>^{*}
(for instance). Then you could use\geq^{*}
.\mathrel
might be better than\mathbin
. Also, I cannot find this symbol in the very long uncode list of symbols. And "much greater than or equal to" sounds a bit obscure. May I out of curiosity ask for what it will mean?
