    [SOLVED] Help wanted to reproduce this 'unicode' character.

    If you visit https://zren.github.io/kde/#configuration, you'll see

    Hide the button in the panel on the bottom right
    Right Click the ☰ button > Lock Widgets.
    I can get something looking somewhat like ☰ by holding down Ctrl+Shift+U altogether, then releasing only U, typing 2261 and then releasing Ctrl+Shift. It's described as the "identical to" code here: http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html.

    But the result, ≡, is clearly not as nice as the one I linked to. So how do I get the one used in the linked web page other than by copy/pasting?

    With the caveat that how characters look is entirely up to the font.

    The character on that page is ☰ U+2630 TRIGRAM FOR HEAVEN, not U+2261 IDENTICAL TO.

    It's a symbol from Taoism, one of the "eight trigrams". It's on the flag of South Korea.

    Wikipedia can be good for this kind of question, just put a character in the search box and often you'll find all about it. Good editors can tell you the code of a character; I use vim, and ga is the command. If you then want to know what it's called, UnicodeData.txt (the first hit in Google from unicode.org) will tell you.
