\2247
The ≇ symbol, officially named "Neither Approximately Nor Actually Equal To," is a mathematical operator used to state that two values are completely distinct. Visually consisting of an "approximately equal to" sign (≅) struck through with a slash, it explicitly negates any loose equivalency. While primarily used in advanced mathematical proofs and formal logic, you might occasionally spot it in technical discussions to emphasize that two concepts don't even come close to matching.

How to Type

In Programming

While standard programming languages rely on standard ASCII operators like `!=` or `!==` for inequality, ≇ is frequently used in LaTeX (typed as `\ncong`) to render formal mathematical documents and proofs.
