Definition

When discussing equivalence relations, various notations are used for $\tuple {x, y} \in \RR$.

Examples are:

$x \mathrel \RR y$
$x \equiv \map y \RR$
$x \equiv y \pmod \RR$

and so on.

Specialised equivalence relations generally have their own symbols, which can be defined as they are needed.

Such symbols include:

$\cong$, $\equiv$, $\sim$, $\simeq$, $\approx$
