History & usage: The EQUALS SIGN AND SLANTED PARALLEL WITH TILDE ABOVE is a single symbol in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block. It combines the idea of equality with a slanted parallel mark and a tilde above. In math and in software, such symbols extend the set used for relations and operations. They help show that two expressions are related in a nonstandard way or that a condition holds under a specific rule. The symbol is part of a family that expands how formulas are written beyond the basic equals. It is used when a close but not identical relation needs to be shown. In user interfaces, common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. This helps readers recognize the meaning quickly without extra text. As with other symbols in this range, it has a precise technical meaning and specific placement in formulas. Designers and mathematicians choose it when ordinary equals does not express the intended relation. Understanding the symbol requires some familiarity with the surrounding notation and the rules of the discipline.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+29E4 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.
