Almost equal to

The double tilde of approximation: π ≈ 3.14159. Use it for rounded figures, estimates, and “roughly” in technical prose — it is more precise than the single tilde ~, which in math means “is similar to” or “on the order of”. Space both sides like other relation signs. Solid font coverage everywhere, including mobile.
