Well, that’s because they removed it after WW2. The original IBM keyboard had this, and other Nazi symbolism. (IBM collaborated with the Nazis, if you weren’t aware)
Another fun fact: the Windows logo today is where the swastika used to be. If you look closely, you can see how the swastika’s influence on Microsoft’s iconic logo persists to this very day
My editor’s font/ligeratue changes the != To that symbol when programming. Unfortunately I have to use visual basic usually and type out Not most of the tiime but works well with C#.
Probably not a big increase in readability but I like it. Damn hate all the words needed in VB.net but oh well, could not be programming for work which would be worse and least still know .net libraries.
This is not one thing you learned today come on dude just think about it for two seconds. Could there possibly by another, much more likely reason that a programming language wouldn’t use ≠? Here’s a hint- if you’re at a computer, look down at your keyboard.
It is a symbol used to intend that races are not equal.
Uuuuugggghhhhh
Fun fact: that’s why most computer programming languages use “!=” instead of “≠”
I thought it had more to do with the fact that there isn’t a ≠ key on most people’s keyboards.

That’s the actual reason

Damn… this is the one thing I learned today. Thanks!

I mean, if the point you’re trying to make is that “≠” is not available on a keyboard, =/= is.
