The ≏ (Difference Between) symbol, sometimes referred to as a bumped equals sign, is a mathematical operator featuring a straight line topped with a single curved wave. In mathematics, it indicates the difference between two values or denotes specific types of equivalence and isomorphism in algebra. While rarely seen in everyday text messages or social media, it is an essential typographical character for formatting complex academic and geometric formulas.
