HTML Entity for Equiangular To (≚)
What You'll Learn
How to display the Equiangular To (≚) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, named entity, and CSS escape methods. This character is U+225A (EQUIANGULAR TO) in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF)—used when two figures are equiangular (have equal corresponding angles).
Render it with ≚, ≚, the named entity ≚, or CSS escape \225A. Do not confuse ≚ with equivalent to (≍, ≍) or identical to (≡, ≡).

≚ ≚ vs ≍ ≍≚ ≚🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
≚ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 225A to display this symbol. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.
Decimal HTML Code
≚ uses the decimal Unicode value 8794 to display the same character.
Named Entity
≚ is the semantic named entity for equiangular to—easiest to read in geometry markup.
CSS Entity
\225A is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.
Same visual result
All four methods produce the glyph: ≚. Unicode U+225A in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Use Cases
The Equiangular To (≚) commonly appears in:
Denote that two figures have equal corresponding angles.
Geometry textbooks, courses, and angle-relation worksheets.
Geometric proofs comparing angle measures between figures.
Diagrams and specs with formal geometric notation.
Papers publishing correct operator symbols in HTML.
Math and geometry entity reference pages.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Use
≚for readable equiangular markup (U+225A) - Use
≍(≍) only when equivalence/asymptotic equality is meant - Use math-friendly fonts for clear ≚ rendering
- Serve pages with UTF-8 (
<meta charset="utf-8">) - Add context when the symbol carries semantic meaning
Don’t
- Confuse ≚ (equiangular) with ≍ (equivalent to) or ≡ (identical)
- Use ≚ when simple equality (=) is sufficient
- Put CSS escape
\225Ain HTML text nodes - Assume all fonts distinguish ≚, ≍, and ≡ clearly
- Mix entity styles randomly in one file

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
≚ (hex), ≚ (decimal), ≚ (named), or \225A in CSS content. All produce ≚.U+225A (EQUIANGULAR TO). Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF). Hex 225A, decimal 8794.≚ renders ≚ (U+225A, equiangular to). ≍ renders ≍ (U+224D, equivalent to). Different characters with different meanings in math notation.≚, ≚, or ≚) go directly in markup. The CSS escape \225A is used in stylesheets, typically in the content property of pseudo-elements. Same visual result, different layers of the stack.Explore More HTML Entities!
