Equiangular to (≚) is the Unicode character at U+225A in Mathematical Operators. Official name: EQUIANGULAR TO. It marks that figures have equal corresponding angles — common in geometry.
Remember
Character ≚
Unicode U+225A
Named entity ≚
Hex entity ≚
Decimal ≚
CSS escape \225A
Not the same = · ≜ (triangleq) · ≡ (equiv)
Prefer ≚ in HTML markup. You can also use ≚ / ≚, or type ≚ in a UTF-8 document.

Geometry: ABC ≚ DEF
How It Works
1. Named:≚ is the preferred HTML5 name for U+225A → ≚.
2. Hex:≚ inserts the same code point. Same visual as named.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8794 → ≚.
4. CSS: use \225A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ≚.
5. Typed: paste ≚ in a UTF-8 document, or write a statement like ABC ≚ DEF.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Equiangular To.
Name
Prefer ≚
≚ is the readable named form for U+225A. Numeric forms still work when you need them.
=
Not ordinary equals
U+003D is ordinary equality. Prefer ≚ when the relation is specifically equiangular.
≜
Not triangleq
U+225C (≜) is a related definition mark — not the same as equiangular to.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\225A belongs in CSS strings. ≚ / ≚ / ≚ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Math font coverage
Some fonts omit Mathematical Operators. Prefer a font with solid math coverage for geometry notation.
a11y
Add accessible text
Screen readers may not expand ≚ clearly. Prefer a phrase nearby such as “is equiangular to” when the meaning matters.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ≚, not &veeeq.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Equiangular to (U+225A) and its entity forms (≚, ≚, ≚, CSS \\225A) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Mathematical Operators font coverage.
✓ Universal support
Equiangular To (≚)
Encode with named, hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same code point everywhere encoding is supported.

Bottom line: Prefer ≚ in HTML. Use ≚ / ≚ when numeric form is required, and \\225A only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: equiangular to is U+225A (decimal 8794) — glyph ≚.
HTML: prefer ≚ (named form).
CSS: use \225A inside content for generated text.
Meaning: ≚ ≠ = ≠ triangleq ≜ ≠ equiv ≡.
One line:U+225A → ≚ / ≚ / CSS \225A.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ≚ (named), ≚ (hex), ≚ (decimal), type ≚ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \225A in content.
U+225A (EQUIANGULAR TO). Hex 225A, decimal 8794. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. ≚ is the HTML5 named entity for U+225A and is usually the most readable choice in markup.
Use it when stating that figures are equiangular (for example triangle ABC ≚ triangle DEF). Prefer ordinary = for simple equality, ≡ for identical/congruent style relations, and ≜ when you need the triangle-equals definition mark.
HTML entities (≚, ≚, or ≚) go in markup. The CSS escape \225A goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. U+225A is ≚ (equiangular to). U+2259 is ≙ (estimates / wedgeq). U+225C is ≜ (delta equal to / triangleq).

Equiangular to is Unicode U+225A (decimal 8794) — glyph ≚ (EQUIANGULAR TO) in Mathematical Operators. HTML5 names it ≚. It marks that figures (often triangles) have equal corresponding angles. Nearby related marks include ≙ (≙) and ≜ (≜).
