U+225E "≞" Measured By Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
≞
U+225E "≞" Measured By is a mathematical symbol that represents a relation indicating that one quantity is measured by another, often used in geometry, metrology, or logical propositions to denote exactly measured equivalence or a defined proportional relationship. Its appearance, two short parallel lines with a dot above and below each pair, visually suggests a precise calibration or standard of measurement, and it belongs to the Mathematical Operators block within Unicode, where it serves as a less common but distinct operator for technical notation.
