This is obnoxious: It is 2023, the ≥ character is in Unicode since
1993, and UTF-8 is ubiquitous. Yet, pdfLaTeX balks at this.
Maybe the right fix would be to switch to LuaLaTeX. Alas, that doesn't
seem to have reached the necessary maturity yet:

/** The Binomial coefficients. It computes the binomial coefficients. For
* integer n and k and positive n this is the number of ways of choosing k
* objects from n distinct objects. If n is a negative integer, the formula
- * binomial(n,k) == (-1)^k*binomial(k-n-1,k) (if k≥0)
+ * binomial(n,k) == (-1)^k*binomial(k-n-1,k) (if k>=0)
* binomial(n,k) == (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(-k-1,n-k) (otherwise)
* is used to compute the result. */
