That would be "approximately equal to." For "approximately," usually just
the tilde is used; it's on the keyboard above the grave accent, usually at
the top left-hand corner.

TY Herb,
I actually found the correct symbol I was looking for 4-5 minutes after I
posted the question by just buzzing thru the symbols. But, I didn't know how
to cancel my cry for help. So, thank you for your time.
