History & usage: SUPERSET OF ABOVE EQUALS SIGN (U+2AC6) is a symbol in the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. It is used as a math operator in formulas and in user interfaces to express a superset relationship over an equals sign. Historically, such symbols were created to extend standard math notation for logic and set theory. The name shows its role as a modifier of equality and order. In practice, editors, calculators, and software may display this glyph in formulas that compare sets or define hierarchical relations. Common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. The symbol helps convey a precise relation without words. It fits with other relational signs in math tools. When seen in documentation, it marks a higher-level inclusion relative to an equal sign. It is part of a large collection used by mathematicians and engineers. Its use is niche but steady in advanced math and computer science texts.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2AC6 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
