History & usage: History & usage: The Delta Equal To symbol has the codepoint U+225C and is in the Mathematical Operators block. Its script is listed as Common. In texts, this symbol is used to express a relation that combines a delta notion with equality. It appears in mathematical formulas where a change or difference is set equal to a value or another expression. It also shows up in user interfaces that display formulas or results, helping to convey a specific type of comparison at a glance. The symbol is treated as a standard operator, so it can combine with other symbols and variables without special formatting. In practice, writers and designers use it when a delta change is tied to an exact equality, rather than a simple equals sign alone. The symbol supports clear communication in steps, equations, and messages that involve both a change and a precise match. Overall, it serves as a focused indicator for a delta-related equality in common math notation and related interfaces.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+225C 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.
