Measured By Symbol Meaning
≞ (MEASURED BY, U+225E) denotes “measured by,” often used in mathematical or technical notation to relate a quantity to how it is measured. In practice, it can appear where authors describe that a value is determined, evaluated, or expressed using a specific measurement standard or method. Because it is a Unicode symbol, it may be preferable to use the correct character instead of approximations when you need consistent rendering across software. Use it in formulas, documentation, diagrams, and labels where the meaning “measured by” needs to be clear and typographically precise.
Common uses
- •Indicating the measurement basis in technical documentation
- •Labeling variables or quantities “measured by” in math-style text
- •Writing measurement relationships in specifications and reports
- •Creating diagram annotations for experiments or instruments
- •Adding typographic symbols to equations in design or educational materials
