any one know what this symbol means? Just a less than sign with two
lines under it? Is there any diffrence between this and a normal
less-than-or-equal-to sign with only one line? Let me know.

It is the same.
E. Landau, an early 20th century
author from Germany, uses this
notation in his books.

As far as I know, it just means less than or equal to just as the
symbol with one line does
