The character ≤ isn't in the ASCII table. However, there are several ways to embed it in HTML.

Firstly, using HTML entities: either ≤, ≤, or &#x2264. Just place this code in your HTML where you want the ≤ symbol to be.

Alternatively, ensure that your html file is utf8 encoded, and include the meta tag <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> in the <head> of your document. You can then copy and paste the ≤ character directly into your document.
