U+2ACA "⫊" Superset of Above Almost Equal To Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2ACA "⫊" Superset of Above Almost Equal To is a mathematical symbol that combines the concept of a superset with the approximation of "almost equal to," indicating that one set contains another set that is nearly or approximately equal in some measure. It is part of the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block in Unicode, designed for use in advanced mathematical notation, particularly in set theory, logic, or algebra where nuanced relational comparisons are required. The symbol visually stacks the superset notation on top of the "almost equal to" sign, reinforcing its layered meaning in a single glyph.
