Unicode Version 17.0
≋
U+224B "≋" Triple Tilde is a mathematical symbol consisting of three horizontal wavy lines, representing a relation of congruence or approximate equality, often used in geometry to denote that two figures are homothetic or that shapes are similar with a specific orientation. It can also appear in advanced mathematics or physics contexts to indicate a triple equivalence relation, differing from the single tilde (∼) for general similarity and the double tilde (≈) for approximate equality by emphasizing a more precise or layered equivalence.
