$DateAttribute >= "date"
$DateAttribute ≥ "date"
Gathers all notes whose $DateAttribute value is on or after the given date. The left-side date cannot be more than 'never'.
Because this test is effectively ((A > B) | (A ==)), the equality test means the time part of the date time is ignored, unlike with a plain 'greater than' test.
Using the '>=' syntax rather than '≥' is recommended if content is to exported to the web as not all fonts include the latter special character; the Unicode address simply says where a glyph is stored in the font, it does not dictate whether it exists in a given font.
Depending on the granularity required, it may be necessary to use a two-term query for date comparisons.
$NumberAttribute >= number
$NumberAttribute ≥ number
Gathers all notes whose $NumberAttribute value is greater than or equal the given number.

Other data types…
Boolean. A true is always greater than false.
Color. Tinderbox does not perform greater/less than comparisons on Color-type attributes.
Sets. Tinderbox does not perform greater/less than comparisons on Set-type attributes.
String. A lexical comparison is done of each string character by character, i.e. the ASCII value of each first character, then each second character, etc. Uppercase characters < lowercase < numbers. For other characters, accents, etc., comparisons are likely to not meet linguistic expectation as the values will be based on Unicode sort order. Thus
"dog" > "cat"
"dog" > "Dog"
"dogs" > "dog"
"dogs" > "dogma"
"dogs" < "døg" <-- NOTE!
