	Comments:	Not just in maths. It's used as an adjective in the above link. I think this works.

	Comments:	I feel ニアリーイコール and ニアイコール are close enough to share the entry.

	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?

	Comments:	I don't think we should go with treating ≒ as a kanji with a ニアリーイコール reading. I'm making it match イコール[2]. I wonder if there should be a 「≠」 sense in the ノットイコール entry?
