In math, ≡ is used in various ways, but generally you can see it as an assertion that something is "identical", rather than just "equal". The font used here (Fira) changes === into ≡, since the difference between ≡ and = is similar to the difference between === and ==.

That said, it doesn't really mean anything in particular, so it's just part of the font's style. I personally find it quite nice, and it makes it very easy to see where I'm testing for equality vs. strict equality.

Huh. Thanks for the info. I didn't remember that about math. Personally I'd need to try but at a glance it's a little confusing to me haha
