HTML Entity for Triple Tilde (≋)
What You'll Learn
How to display the Triple Tilde (≋) in HTML using named, hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS entity methods. This character is U+224B (TRIPLE TILDE) in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF)—a specialized logic and mathematical relation symbol.
Render it with ≋, ≋, ≋, or CSS escape \224B. Do not confuse ≋ with U+223C (∼, tilde operator / ∼), U+226C (≬, between), or U+2034 (‴, triple prime).

🧠 How It Works
Named Entity
≋ is the HTML named entity for the Triple Tilde (≋) — the most readable option in source code.
Hexadecimal Code
≋ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 224B to display the Triple Tilde symbol.
Decimal HTML Code
≋ uses the decimal Unicode value 8779 to display the same character.
CSS Entity
\224B is used in CSS stylesheets in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.
Same visual result
All four methods produce ≋. Unicode U+224B. Not tilde operator ∼ or triple prime ‴. Previous: Triple Prime. Next: Triple Vertical Bar Right Turnstile.
Use Cases
The Triple Tilde (≋) commonly appears in:
Formal logic expressions and relation notation.
Specialized mathematical documents and proofs.
Research papers and scholarly publications.
Formal systems and specialized notation guides.
Logic and math tutorials in HTML.
Unicode and HTML entity guides for math operators.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Prefer
≋for readable HTML source - Use fonts that cover Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF)
- For complex equations, consider MathML, MathJax, or KaTeX
- Distinguish ≋ from tilde operator ∼ and between ≬
- Pick one entity style per project for consistency
Don’t
- Confuse ≋ (triple tilde) with ∼ (tilde operator)
- Confuse ≋ with ‴ (triple prime punctuation)
- Use three tildes (
~~~) when ≋ is intended - Put CSS escape
\224Bdirectly in HTML text nodes - Forget UTF-8 (
<meta charset="utf-8">) in your document
