I know how to get the following symbol:

≺

How to I get the reverse of the precedence operator (Unicode character U+227A)?

That is, what is the LaTeX code for the precedence operator, especially the symbol where the left end is wide and the right-end is small or tapered to a fine point?

    The command for that symbol is \succ. You could find it for yourself by using Detexify. But this should really be considered a duplicate of How to look up a symbol or identify a math alphabet? – barbara beeton Apr 28 '23 at 01:38
  • @barbarabeeton That would work, but it is more efficient to have a short answer for a short question. If someone asks you what is the escape sequence for Unicode Character 'HOT BEVERAGE' (U+2615) ☕, then it is more time efficient to answer \u2615 instead of giving the asker an entire table of all 149,186 Unicode characters. – IdleCustard Apr 28 '23 at 02:28

    I did provide the command (I always do so, if I know it, as a courtesy). But the guidelines of this forum encourage "global" answers that are useful for many people, not just one. Also, and off-topic, \u2615 is not, nor is likely ever to be, a legitimate (La)TeX command; it contains digits as well as letters, which violates the definition of a TeX control sequence. – barbara beeton Apr 28 '23 at 02:39

The following answer is due to Barbara Beeton

\succ

The successor operator looks like this after rendering:
