U+229C Circled Equals
U+229C was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block
This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as NoDerivatives (symbol used for Creative Commons licenses).
The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+229C forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
In mathematics, equality is a relationship between two quantities or expressions, stating that they have the same value, or represent the same mathematical object. Equality between A and B is written A = B, and pronounced "A equals B". In this equality, A and B are distinguished by calling them left-hand side (LHS), and right-hand side (RHS). Two objects that are not equal are said to be distinct.
A formula such as where x and y are any expressions, means that x and y denote or represent the same object. For example,
are two notations for the same number. Similarly, using set builder notation,
since the two sets have the same elements. (This equality results from the axiom of extensionality that is often expressed as "two sets that have the same elements are equal".)
The truth of an equality depends on an interpretation of its members. In the above examples, the equalities are true if the members are interpreted as numbers or sets, but are false if the members are interpreted as expressions or sequences of symbols.
An identity, such as means that if x is replaced with any number, then the two expressions take the same value. This may also be interpreted as saying that the two sides of the equals sign represent the same function (equality of functions), or that the two expressions denote the same polynomial (equality of polynomials).
