Frequently asked questions
How do I type less-than-or-equal ≤ and greater-than-or-equal ≥?+
Copy ≤ or ≥ from the grid above rather than typing <= or >=. The single Unicode character looks cleaner in documents and is the correct mathematical notation.
What does ≈ mean?+
≈ means 'approximately equal to'. Use it when two values are close but not exactly the same, for example π ≈ 3.14.
What is the difference between ≠ and =/=?+
≠ is the proper 'not equal' sign as a single character, while =/= is an improvised version made from keyboard keys. Copy ≠ above for correct, clean notation.
