The ≛ (Star Equals) symbol features a standard equals sign topped with a small star or asterisk. In mathematics, it is used as a specialized relational operator to denote a specific type of equivalence, equality under certain conditions, or a custom isomorphism defined by an author. Outside of advanced math, it occasionally appears in creative typography or text-based art to add decorative flair to an otherwise ordinary equation.
