They are the lower and upper half of 0x224d (EQUIVALENT TO). Canonical
glyph shapes are included in the AMS math fonts (freely available in
METAFONT format or as pk-bitmaps from the CTAN-knodes and -mirrors. Primary
CTAN sites are ftp.dante.de and ftp.tex.ac.uk).

Probably UNicode considers them to be glyphical variations of 0x2322 and
0x2323 -- which are however different characters from a TeXnician's point
of view.
