History & usage: SUPERSET OF ABOVE ALMOST EQUAL TO is a symbol from the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. It is used in math notation to show a relationship between sets or quantities that is close to equality but also indicates a larger or more inclusive relation. The symbol helps readers see when one side covers or contains much of the other, with a hint of comparison. In formulas, it can mark a form of containment that is not exact equality. This helps when describing steps or conditions in a proof, algorithm, or data rule. In user interfaces, the symbol can appear in options or explanations where a user compares options or checks a condition that is broader than a simple equality. The code point U+2ACA identifies the character in digital text. The usage description notes that common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. This supports clear communication in math documents and software, making it easier to convey nuanced relations without words. Overall, it functions as a precise sign for an extended form of inclusion in educational and technical work.

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