≡ is the Unicode character IDENTICAL TO, code point U+2261 (decimal 8801) in the Mathematical Operators block, added in Unicode 1.1. In HTML write ≡, and in UTF-8 it is the 3 bytes E2 89 A1.
Codes
| Where | How to write it |
|---|---|
| Code point | U+2261 |
| Decimal | 8801 |
| UTF-8 bytes | E2 89 A1 |
| UTF-16 (big-endian) | 2261 |

| HTML named | ≡ ≡ |
| CSS | \2261 |
| JavaScript | \u2261 |
| JSON | \u2261 |
| Python | \u2261 |
| Python by name | \N{IDENTICAL TO} |
| Java, C# | \u2261 |
| Rust, Swift | \u{2261} |
| Go, C, C++ | \u2261 |
| URL (percent-encoded) | %E2%89%A1 |
JavaScript and JSON strings store text as UTF-16, so this character is one code unit long. Python 3 strings count code points, so its length there is 1.
