· · U+2248 · · Unicode Code Point ≈ · · Character almost equal to · · Name

(Almost Equal To, U+2248) is a mathematical symbol widely used to denote approximate equality between two quantities. Visually, it features two wavy, tilde-like horizontal lines stacked one above the other, offering a distinct visual cue compared to the straight lines of a standard equals sign (=). Its primary purpose is to indicate that a value is not exactly equal but very close, often due to rounding, estimation, or inherent measurement inaccuracies, as seen in expressions like "π ≈ 3.14159." Although its Unicode name is "Almost Equal To," it is frequently employed across mathematics, science, and engineering as a general symbol for "approximately equal to" or "roughly equal to." Related characters include the exact equals sign (=), the not equal to sign (), and other approximate equality symbols such as ≅ (Approximately Equal To, U+2245), which features two true wavy lines.
