The "Not Equivalent To" symbol (≭) is a mathematical operator featuring an "equivalent to" sign (≍) struck through with a forward slash. Mathematicians and logicians use it to state that two expressions, sets, or geometric figures do not share a specific equivalence relation. While casual internet users generally rely on the standard "not equal to" (≠) sign, this particular character is essential in technical fields where equality and equivalence represent entirely distinct concepts.
