History & usage: The Equals Sign With Infinity Below is a symbol from the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block in the Common script. It pairs the familiar equals sign with an infinity mark under it. This shape is a formal sign rather than a letter. It appears in contexts where a special kind of equality or comparison is needed. History for such symbols often follows the path of combining a basic operator with an extra mark to convey a new meaning. In practice, users may see it in diagrams, formulas, or user interfaces that require a compact symbol for a rule that stands beyond ordinary equality. The usage notes describe its role in indicating operations or comparisons in formulas and in user interfaces. The symbol can help distinguish a relation that carries an idea beyond standard equality. Designers and mathematicians choose it when they want to signal a deeper or extended equivalence. When present, it should be read with the surrounding notation to avoid misreadings. Overall, it supports precise communication in math and UI design by marking a special form of equality.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2BF9
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.
