Comments: | Usually "approximately equals to" in English. Is sense 1 really a noun or should it be glossed as an expression ("approximately equals to") like イコール? Apparently ≒ isn't used outside of Japan. We should probably include the international equivalents. Should ニアイコール be a separate entry? |
