Dashed underline under a inequality symbol
I'm trying to find (or create) a symbol that is like geq but with a dashed/dotted line under the inequality symbol. It should look like this:

Thanks in advance

Excuse me but it's just a curiosity. But where is this symbol used in Mathematics?

I use this symbol to say that the inequality could be strict or not. I could also use round brackets on the equal, under the > symbol but this could be more complicated i suppose.

You've been very good at hiding the horizontal line with white dots. +1.

@Sebastiano Thanks! The challenge is that the smaller math styles are not direct scales of the larger and so some dimensions have to be taken as linear combinations of a non-scaling distanceptand a scalable distanceLMpt. Thus, something likedimexpr-.47pt+.02LMptrelaxis needed to work across all 3 math styles.

I assume you have already tried detexify and are aware of How to look up a symbol or identify a math symbol or character?. I have not found your symbol by myself. You could either use a different symbol (https://ctan.org/pkg/unicode-math provides some symbols) or use various tools to construct your own.
Here is an quick and dirty solution which uses https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf to add some blank space to the geq symbol.
documentclass{memoir}
usepackage{tikz,xcolor,amsmath}
usetikzlibrary{calc}
newcommand{dashgeq}{tikz[baseline=(dashgeqanchor.base)]{
node (dashgeqanchor) {$geq$};
draw[color=white,line width=0.05em]
(dashgeqanchor.base) -- +(0,-0.25em)
($(dashgeqanchor.base) + (0.175em,0)$) -- +(0,-0.25em)
($(dashgeqanchor.base) - (0.175em,0)$) -- +(0,-0.25em);
}}
begin{document}
begin{align*}
6 &> 5\
6 &dashgeq 5\
6 &geq 5
end{align*}
tiny
begin{align*}
6 &> 5\
6 &dashgeq 5\
6 &geq 5
end{align*}
huge
begin{align*}
6 &> 5\
6 &dashgeq 5\
6 &geq 5
end{align*}
end{document}

Notes
- This version works on white background only.
- A
saveboxmight be useful if the symbol is frequently used in the same size. - The constants chosen in the code are just found by a simple heuristics and might not work well if you use other math fonts.
- Other ideas might be found in Create symbol out of given symbols with same line width.
- The two outer edges of the dashed line are round whereas the inner are not.

Here there is my spartan proposal.

usepackage{amssymb, amsmath,graphics}
usepackage{stackengine}
newcommandnewgeq[1]{stackunder[1.3pt]{$#1$}{{{hspace{.03cm}scalebox{0.4}mathunderscore} {hspace{-.1cm}scalebox{0.4}mathunderscore} {hspace{-.1cm}scalebox{0.4}mathunderscore}}}}

- A
saveboxmight be useful if the symbol is frequently used in the same size. - The constants chosen in the code are just found by a simple heuristics and might not work well if you use other math fonts.
- Other ideas might be found in Create symbol out of given symbols with same line width.
- The two outer edges of the dashed line are round whereas the inner are not.

I assume you have already tried detexify and are aware of How to look up a symbol or identify a math symbol or character?. I have not found your symbol by myself. You could either use a different symbol (https://ctan.org/pkg/unicode-math provides some symbols) or use various tools to construct your own.
Here is an quick and dirty solution which uses https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf to add some blank space to the geq symbol.
documentclass{memoir}
usepackage{tikz,xcolor,amsmath}
usetikzlibrary{calc}
newcommand{dashgeq}{tikz[baseline=(dashgeqanchor.base)]{
node (dashgeqanchor) {$geq$};
draw[color=white,line width=0.05em]
(dashgeqanchor.base) -- +(0,-0.25em)
($(dashgeqanchor.base) + (0.175em,0)$) -- +(0,-0.25em)
($(dashgeqanchor.base) - (0.175em,0)$) -- +(0,-0.25em);
}}
begin{document}
begin{align*}
6 &> 5\
6 &dashgeq 5\
6 &geq 5
end{align*}
tiny
begin{align*}
6 &> 5\
6 &dashgeq 5\
6 &geq 5
end{align*}
huge
begin{align*}
6 &> 5\
6 &dashgeq 5\
6 &geq 5
end{align*}
end{document}

Here there is my spartan proposal.

documentclass{article}
usepackage{amssymb, amsmath,graphics}
usepackage{stackengine}
newcommandnewgeq[1]{stackunder[1.3pt]{$#1$}{{{hspace{.03cm}scalebox{0.4}mathunderscore} {hspace{-.1cm}scalebox{0.4}mathunderscore} {hspace{-.1cm}scalebox{0.4}mathunderscore}}}}
begin{document}
$newgeq{a>b}$

Excuse me but it's just a curiosity. But where is this symbol used in Mathematics?

I use this symbol to say that the inequality could be strict or not. I could also use round brackets on the equal, under the > symbol but this could be more complicated i suppose.
