In Perl6 <= is equivalent to ≤ say 4 ≤ 5; # True say 4 ≤ 4; # True say 4 ≤ 3; # ...

In Perl6 <= is equivalent to ≤

    say 4 ≤ 5; # True
    say 4 ≤ 4; # True
    say 4 ≤ 3; # False

    say 4 <= 5; # True
    say 4 <= 4; # True
    say 4 <= 3; # False

Specifically they are the exact same subroutine. (The normal operators are just subroutines with a special name.)

    say &infix:« ≤ »  =:=  &infix:« <= »; # True

(The =:= operator is basically the same as pointer equivalence.)

The line which creates this equivalence is the following:

    my constant &infix:<≤> := &infix:«<=»;
