How to type Leqslant

Write \leqslant inside math mode, that is between $…$ for inline math or in a \[ … \] or equation block for display math. This symbol needs the amssymb package, so add \usepackage{amssymb} to your preamble.

As a relation, \leqslant gets a thick space on each side, and a long inline formula may break after it. With unicode-math under XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, typing ⩽ in a formula gives the same symbol. Not to be confused with \leq (≤).
