Unicode Version 17.0
≏
U+224F "≏" Difference Between is a mathematical symbol used to denote a relation where two quantities or expressions are neither strictly equal nor entirely unequal, often indicating a close or approximate equivalence with some specified distinction or difference. It typically appears in algebra, geometry, or formal logic contexts to express that two values differ in a defined or meaningful way, but are not completely unrelated. Unlike the similar looking "≎" which represents a geometrical equivalence, "≏" specifically conveys a nuanced comparative relationship in technical notation.
