The ⋕ (Equal and Parallel To) symbol is a mathematical operator used in geometry to indicate that two line segments are both parallel and equal in length. While it closely resembles a standard hash or pound sign (#), it is specifically designed for technical mathematical notation rather than general typography. It serves as a concise way to express congruency and parallel relationships between geometric figures without writing out the full properties.
How to Type
- Windows
- Alt+8917 or 22D5, Alt+X (in Word)
- macOS
- Control+Command+Space then search "equal and parallel to"
- Linux
- Ctrl+Shift+U then 22D5
- HTML
- ⋕
In Programming
While not a standard operator in mainstream programming languages, it is used in mathematical rendering tools like MathML to cleanly display advanced geometric proofs and spatial relationships.
