U+2B96 "⮖" Equals Sign with Infinity Above Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2B96 "⮖" Equals Sign with Infinity Above is a typographic symbol that combines a standard equals sign with an infinity symbol positioned directly above it, suggesting a concept of perpetual or unbounded equality. Its primary design purpose is likely for use in mathematical notation, logic, or technical diagrams to denote a relationship that is not only equal but also infinite or unbounded in its continuity, such as in contexts involving infinite sets, recurring sequences, or steady-state conditions. As part of the Unicode Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, this character provides a compact and specific glyph for representing this nuanced mathematical or conceptual relation in digital text, though it remains relatively rare and niche outside of specialized fields.
