No, but there are lots of standardized variants for mathematical glyph
variants of this sort (see first section of
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/StandardizedVariants.txt), so
you could ask the UTC to define two more mathematical standardized
variants:
2A7F FE00; with straight equal; # LESS-THAN OR SLANTED EQUAL TO WITH DOT INSIDE
2A80 FE00; with straight equal; # GREATER-THAN OR SLANTED EQUAL TO
WITH DOT INSIDE
Then all you would need is to get someone to support the new
standardized variants in a math font.
Unicode does not use standardized variants for that particular
distinctions in the undotted part of that family of symbols.
