U+2A73 "⩳" Equals Sign Above Tilde Operator Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⩳
U+2A73 "⩳" Equals Sign Above Tilde Operator is a mathematical typographic symbol that combines an equals sign placed directly above a tilde, representing a relational operator used to denote equivalence, approximation, or a specific logical or algebraic relationship that is stronger than a simple tilde alone. It is part of the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block, designed for use in advanced mathematical notation, particularly in contexts where a combination of exact equality and approximate similarity needs to be expressed compactly. This character is distinct from the separate equals sign and tilde glyphs, serving as a single, unified symbol for clarity in printed formulas and digital typesetting.
