Fullwidth Equals Sign ＝
＝ (U+FF1D) 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: Fullwidth Equals Sign is part of the Symbols family (block: Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms). 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 FULLWIDTH EQUALS SIGN depicts the symbol used as an equal sign in fullwidth form. In math and formulas, it represents equality or a relation between two sides of an equation. In user interfaces and digital text, it serves as a visual indicator of equivalence in forms, calculators, and data displays. In plain text or code contexts, it helps align or denote sameness without narrowing typography. This character is designed to mark equality regardless of surrounding fullwidth typography, and it appears with standard width handling on most platforms. Cross‑platform, it should render consistently in supporting environments, and screen readers should interpret it as an equals sign for accessibility.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+FF1D 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
