Description

In my computer, the LaTeX alternative is the only correct one, in which the slash overlays the angle bracket:

  • Poor-man's: 1≯ 2
  • Unicode: 1≯2
  • HTML: 1≯2
  • LaTex: <math>a \ngtr b</math>

My cellphone renders the symbol better:

Event Timeline

You seem to be reporting that your computer does not have a font installed that supports the unicode glyph (code point 226F).
I'm not quite sure how this problem can be solved in a general sense. We have historically avoided shipping web fonts and instead expect users to have local fonts installed to support unicode content.

If I copy the text and paste it in Windows Notepad, it renders correctly:

So, it seems it's a problem with the web browser (Chrome)?

My concern is fellow editors are rewriting everything in LaTeX.

What's the version of your operating system and browser?

I'm using Chrome version 123.0.6312.106 on Windows 10 version 22H2.

I've just noticed it renders correctly in Firefox version 115.9.1esr!

@Fgnievinski: Thanks for reporting this. For future reference, please use the bug report form (linked from the top of the task creation page) to create a bug report, and fill in all the sections in the template, instead of deleting them. Thanks.

Hi @Aklapper, no problem, I can either correct the current bug report or file a new report correctly – which one would be preferable?

Hi, this sounds like an issue with preferred fonts in Chrome. Might be a topic for https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech ? Hmm...
