History & usage: The SUPERSCRIPT EQUALS SIGN, shown as U+207C, exists in the set of Superscripts and Subscripts. It is a small form of the equals symbol placed as a superscript. It helps writers show a specific relation without changing the main line of text. In plain math, it appears in formulas to indicate a raised equality or a contextual note. In user interfaces, this sign can mark a relationship or a step in a calculation that stands apart from the main flow. Its use is practical in compact math displays and in rules for formatting formulas. People rely on it when space is tight or when they want to keep related ideas visually close. The sign is part of standard math symbols that convey operations or comparisons. The character helps keep notation concise and clear. When used, it does not replace the normal equals sign but complements it in a raised position. Readers learn to interpret it as a variant of equality tied to a specific level or context. Strong typing around its name helps emphasize its role in formulas and UI codes.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+207C in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
