About the not identical to symbol

The symbol ≢ means “not identical to,” representing the negation of the identity relation. In mathematics and logic, it indicates that two expressions are not exactly the same in form or value, often used in contexts where simple inequality (≠) is not precise enough.

It appears in mathematical notation, particularly in set theory, algebra, and formal logic, where distinguishing between equality and identity matters. It may also be encountered in computer science discussions of type theory or symbolic computation, and occasionally in technical documents or textbooks that require a clear symbol for non-identity.
