This is macro from extended versions of windows headers (which end in 'x'), for example, win32ax.inc.

How will this macro determine where to use ja and where jg?

Are there special comparison operators for signed and unsigned numbers? Or how?

The source code suggests that you need to include the signed keyword to get signed jumps:
Code:
;...
      match =COND =signed v1>==v2, COND c
      \\\{
          cmp v1,v2
          jl label
          define COND
      \\\}
      match =COND =signed v1<==v2, COND c
      \\\{
          cmp v1,v2
          jg label
          define COND
      \\\}
      match =COND v1>==v2, COND c
      \\\{
          cmp v1,v2
          jb label
          define COND
      \\\}
      match =COND v1<==v2, COND c
      \\\{
          cmp v1,v2
          ja label
          define COND
      \\\}
;...

It is mentioned in the documentation of extended headers (also present in PDF version).

Yes, I have see. Can a single condition contain signed and unsigned comparisons?

Yes. You prepend a single comparison statement, not the entire expression.
