what is this symbol?

Hello everyone!
I'm looking back on my notes and I noticed that I wrote e- p distribution. What does this mean? More specifically what does mean?
Thank you!

The wave function squared is equivalent to electron density distribution.

Hello,

The electron density distribution also represents the probability of finding an electron there, and the three horizontal lines mean "identical to".

Hope this answers your question!
