About this character

U+2017 (‗) is DOUBLE LOW LINE, a punctuation mark in the General Punctuation block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is a compatibility variant of U+0020 + U+0333 ◌̳ (compatibility decomposition <compat>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+0020 + U+0333 ◌̳. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.
