Subset of or Equal to with Dot Above ⫃

⫃ (U+2AC3) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.

What it is and where it’s used: Subset of or Equal to with Dot Above is part of the Symbols family (block: Supplemental Mathematical Operators). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.

History & usage: The character U+2AC3 is the subset of or equal to with dot above. It lives in the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. In math, it signals that one set is contained in another and may be equal in some cases. The symbol helps express precise subset relations in formulas. It appears in technical documents, textbooks, and software that handle symbols. The usage_atoms describe how common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. This is one such symbol that users may see in data tables or math editors. In history, it belongs to a family of relational operators added to Unicode to support advanced math notation. It helps distinguish nuanced relations beyond plain subset or equality. In practice, software renders it with a dot mark over the standard subset symbol, to show the combined idea. Programmers include it in math fonts and input tools for math-ready interfaces. People use it when describing sets that are contained with equality in some contexts. It remains part of standard math and digital text.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2AC3 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.
