Equals With Asterisk Symbol Meaning
⩮ is the Unicode character named “EQUALS WITH ASTERISK” (U+2A6E). Visually, it combines an equals sign with an asterisk-like mark, distinguishing it from the plain “=” character. In math and technical text, it can be used to represent a specialized equality relation, an equality with an associated condition, or a statement that should be read with extra context. Because it is less common than standard operators, it’s best to use it when a distinct “equality-with-marker” meaning is intended and consistent within your document or notation system.
Common uses
- •Labeling a formula step where equality has an extra condition or annotation
- •Designing math-themed icons or UI badges for “equality with note” states
- •Formatting technical documentation to distinguish special equality from plain equals
