are there symbols for greater than or equal, less than or equal?

Hi,

I have occasional references that mention things like "Adjust the Kd pot until the voltage is <= 2.0 v" or "Turn the screw until the clearance is => .005 inch."

<= means less than or equal to.

=> means greater than or equal to.

I looked the the installed Character Sets PDF file and could not find these symbols. Is there an ASCII or ANSI code or a special font that has these items as a single symbol?

Yours,

Michael F

If you're using a FM8 or greater than you should use the Unicode values for these symbols:

<= is /u2264

>= is /u2265

However, the font that you are using must contain the glyphs in these code points.

With the ANSI Symbol and Dingbats sets, these symbols were coded at:

0163 (\xa3) (ctrl-q #) less than or equal to

0179 (\xb3) (ctrl-q 3) greater than or equal to

Arnis,

Thanks. I was able to insert those symbols with the ANSI codes (which I'll add to my list of useful codes.

If by that you mean in-line text with the Symbol font applied and the Ctrl-whatever hand-typed, you might consider doing these special characters as Variables. See thread:
