Equals Sign Above Plus Sign Symbol Meaning
⩱ is the “equals sign above plus sign” symbol (Unicode code point U+2A71). Visually, it stacks an equals sign over a plus sign, indicating a combined or structured relationship in a typographic way. In practice, it’s mainly used where mathematical symbols are expected—such as custom notation, symbols in documents, and design work that needs a precise glyph beyond standard plus or equals characters.
