How do you type a three lined equal sign that looks like a hamburger menu inside of a user.js file?

I am studying via tutorial, on email authentication. Inside the user.js file, there's an equal sign that looks like a hamburger menu. I have searched online and it talks about it on Wikipedia but I see no solution as to how to "type" the character in my code. The code inside of my user.js file looks like this:

userScheama.methods = {
authenticate: function(plainText) {
return this.encryptPassword(plainText) <☰ symbol here> this.hashed._password;
},

This is probably a ligature used within your editor to display triple equals (===) as a triple bar (e.g. something like to ☰).

Your editor probably also has a way to disable this feature, if you'd rather it be displayed without the ligature as ===.

A straightforward way to check would be to copy the text and paste it somewhere that you know ligatures aren't enabled, such as in your web browser's search bar.
