Summary
Copy the not equal symbol (≠) and find the exact Unicode value, HTML entity, LaTeX command, or keyboard shortcut for your platform.
How it works
- Click the large not equal symbol to copy it to your clipboard.
- Or click any format in the list (Unicode, HTML entity, LaTeX, CSS escape) to copy that exact string.
- Use the shortcut table to type the symbol directly from your keyboard on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
- Paste the symbol anywhere: documents, spreadsheets, code, or chat.
Use cases
- Write inequalities in math homework or lecture notes, such as x ≠ 0.
- Insert the not equal symbol into a LaTeX document with \neq.
- Show a comparison operator in a spec sheet or slide without using "!=" as a substitute.
- Add the not equal symbol to code, CSS content, or HTML without breaking encoding.
- Learn the keyboard shortcut so you never need to look it up again.
- Copy the correct HTML entity for a web page instead of pasting a raw Unicode character.
