When to use it

Means “at most”: x ≤ 10.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&le;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\2264"; }

const s = "\u2264";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.
