U+2257 "≗" Ring Equal To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2257 "≗" Ring Equal To is a mathematical symbol that combines an equality sign with a small circle or ring placed directly above it, representing a specific relational operator used in formal logic, set theory, or algebra to denote a modified or constrained form of equality, often indicating equivalence under a particular condition, such as a congruence relation or equality up to a defined transformation. It is distinct from similar symbols like the congruent sign (≅) or the equal sign with a circumflex accent, as the ring above explicitly signals a specialized interpretation within technical notation. This character is encoded in the Unicode Mathematical Operators block and is available for use in digital text where precise mathematical semantics are required, though it is less common in everyday writing.
