Equals sign below is the Unicode character at U+0347 in the Combining Diacritical Marks block. Official name: COMBINING EQUALS SIGN BELOW. It is a combining mark that attaches to the previous base letter — for example a͇ → a͇.
Remember
Mark (combining ͇)
Unicode U+0347
Hex entity ͇
Decimal ͇
CSS escape \0347
Named entity (none)
Tip base letter + mark
Prefer ͇ or ͇ after a base letter (no named form). Do not confuse it with spacing = (U+003D).
Built with Hex: a͇
Built with Decimal: a͇
Built with CSS: a͇
Typed: a͇ o͇
Order: base letter, then U+0347
How It Works
1. Hex: write a base letter, then ͇ → a͇.
2. Decimal: same code point as 839 → ͇ after the letter. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: put the letter and \0347 together in content (e.g. "a\0347"). A lone combining escape has nothing to attach to.
4. Typed / order: paste the combining mark after the base letter in a UTF-8 document.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Equals Sign Below.
Order
Base letter first
Write the letter, then ͇. Alone, the combining mark has nothing to attach to and may look invisible or misplaced.
Name
No named entity
There is no HTML5 named entity for U+0347. Use ͇ or ͇.
=
Not ordinary equals
U+003D is a spacing equals sign for equations. U+0347 is a diacritic under a letter.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0347 belongs in CSS strings (with a letter). ͇ / ͇ belong in HTML after a base letter.
Fonts
Combining mark coverage
Some fonts draw rare combining marks poorly. Prefer a font with solid Combining Diacritical Marks support.
a11y
Add accessible text
Screen readers may ignore or misread rare combining marks. Prefer a short explanation nearby when the diacritic carries meaning.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ͇, not ͇.
Compatibility

Bottom line: Prefer ͇ after a base letter in HTML (no named form). Use ͇ when decimal form is required, and \\0347 only inside CSS content.

Key Takeaways
Unicode: combining equals sign below is U+0347 (decimal 839).
HTML: no named entity — use base + ͇ / ͇.

One line:U+0347 → base + ͇ / CSS "a\0347" (no named form).
Frequently Asked Questions
Place ͇ (hex) or ͇ (decimal) after a base letter, type the combining mark in UTF-8 after a letter, or use CSS \0347 in content after a letter in the string. There is no named HTML entity for U+0347.

No. Use numeric forms ͇ or ͇ after a base letter. The spacing equals sign = uses = or = (U+003D) — a different character.
Use it when a linguistic or phonetic notation needs an equals mark under a letter. Prefer ordinary = for math equality, and other below diacritics (for example macron below) when that mark is the one you need.
HTML entities (͇ or ͇) go in markup after a base letter. The CSS escape \0347 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after, after a letter in the string).
No. U+0347 is a combining equals below a letter. U+003D is the spacing equals sign. A low line (_) is a separate spacing character, not this combining mark.
