U+2253 "≓" Image of or Approximately Equal To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2253 "≓" Image of or Approximately Equal To is a mathematical symbol that visually combines an open, square-like shape on its left side with a wavy, tilde-like line on its right, representing a relationship where something is either an exact image, a direct copy, or an approximate equivalent to another value or object. It is the typographic counterpart to the more common "≒" symbol, but with the tilde and the equals or image sign reversed in order, and its primary use lies in technical and mathematical notation, particularly in fields like geometry or drafting, to denote that one figure or measurement is both an isomorphic representation and nearly equal in magnitude to another, though it is rarely seen in standard algebra or everyday text.
