All Equal To (≌) is the Mathematical Operators character at Unicode U+224C. Unicode’s official name is All equal to. HTML also exposes it as the named entity ≌ (“backward congruent”). You can paste ≌ in UTF-8 HTML, use ≌, or write a numeric character reference.
Remember
Character ≌
Unicode U+224C
Hex entity ≌
Decimal ≌
Named entity ≌
CSS escape \224C
All of these produce the same glyph: ≌. Prefer ≌ in hand-written HTML. Match the symbol to your math style guide — do not assume it means the same thing as ≈ or ≡.

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>All Equal To (≌) in HTML</title>
<style>
#point::after {
content: "\224C";
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>All Equal To using Hex Code: ≌</p>
<p>All Equal To using HTML Code: ≌</p>
<p>All Equal To using Named Entity: ≌</p>
<p id="point">All Equal To using CSS Entity: </p>
<p>Typed directly: ≌</p>
</body>
</html>
All Equal To using Hex Code: ≌
All Equal To using HTML Code: ≌
All Equal To using Named Entity: ≌
All Equal To using CSS Entity: ≌
Typed directly: ≌
How It Works
1. Hex:U+224C → ≌ in HTML. The browser turns it into ≌.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8780 → ≌. Same result as hex.
3. Named:≌ is the standard HTML name for U+224C — clear in source.
4. CSS: use \224C in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ≌ after the paragraph text.
5. Typed ≌: fine in UTF-8 source. All five lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the All Equal To entity.
Meaning
Follow your style guide
≌ is not automatically the same as ≈ or ≡. Use the code point your course or paper requires.
Named
Prefer ≌
In hand-written HTML, the named entity is easier to read than ≌.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\224C belongs in CSS. ≌ / ≌ / ≌ belong in HTML.
Label
Two names, one glyph
Unicode says All equal to; HTML entity lists say bcong. Same U+224C.
Fonts
Check math coverage
Some webfonts omit Mathematical Operators. Test fonts used for equations.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ≌, not &bcong.
Compatibility
Browser Support
All Equal To (U+224C) and its entity forms (≌, ≌, ≌, CSS \\224C) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph appearance depends on font coverage for the Mathematical Operators block.
✓ Universal support
All Equal To (≌)
Paste ≌, or encode with named, hex, decimal, or CSS escape — same glyph everywhere.

Bottom line: Prefer ≌ in hand-written HTML. Use ≌ or ≌ when a numeric form is clearer, and \\224C only inside CSS content.

Key Takeaways
Unicode: All Equal To is U+224C (decimal 8780).
HTML: prefer ≌, or use ≌ / ≌.
CSS: use \224C inside content for generated text.
Relations: ≌ ≠ ≈ ≠ ≡ — pick the operator your notation requires.
Use ≌ (hex), ≌ (decimal), ≌ (named), or the CSS escape \224C in the content property. All render All Equal To (≌). You can also paste ≌ directly if your file is UTF-8.
U+224C (hex 224C, decimal 8780). Unicode names it All equal to. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. ≌ maps to U+224C. Prefer it in hand-written HTML; numeric forms are useful in generated markup or XML contexts.
Use U+224C when your textbook or style guide calls for All equal to / ≌. Approximate equality is often ≈ (U+2248); identical to is ≡ (U+2261). Do not swap them casually.
HTML entities (≌, ≌, or ≌) go in markup. The CSS escape \224C is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ≌.
HTML’s entity list uses the mnemonic “backward congruent” for U+224C. Unicode’s character name is All equal to. Same code point — two labels.
🤔
Did you know?
All Equal To is Unicode U+224C (decimal 8780) in the Mathematical Operators block. HTML provides the named entity ≌ (“backward congruent”). Confirm meaning with your math style guide — ≈, ≅, and ≡ are different symbols.
