U+22D5 "⋕" Equal and Parallel To Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+22D5 "⋕" Equal and Parallel To is a mathematical symbol that combines two distinct geometric relationships into a single glyph, representing that two lines or line segments are both equal in length and parallel to each other. It is composed of two horizontal streaks of equal length stacked vertically, with an additional vertical stroke running through the center, visually distinguishing it from the more common equals sign or parallel symbol. This character is primarily used in geometry, technical drawing, and vector analysis to denote a dual condition of parallelism and congruency within a single notation, reducing ambiguity in written equations or diagrams. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block of Unicode and is typically rendered in mathematical or scientific text environments rather than general prose.
