Is there a common notation for expressing "comparability", viz. the symmetric closure $\leq \cup \geq$, where $\leq$ is a partial order?

My current preferred notation is $\gtreqless$.

@eepperly also pointed out that $\perp$ is common, but that seems somewhat overloaded (usually meaning falsum or more generally the bottom element of a lattice).
