Not Asymptotically Equal To ≄
≄ (U+2244) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Not Asymptotically Equal To is part of the Symbols family (block: Mathematical Operators). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: NOT ASYMPTOTICALLY EQUAL TO is a mathematical symbol that exists in the standard set of mathematical operators. It is used to show that two expressions are not asymptotically equal as the variable grows large. In theory, equals signs and inequality signs help describe limits, growth, and comparison between functions. This symbol adds a clear distinction when one function does not approach the other in the long run. In practical work, it can appear in formulas and notes to mark a difference that remains after simplification or approximation. Its usage helps readers avoid assuming a close or equal behavior for large inputs. The symbol fits with common math symbols that indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. It communicates a precise relationship without heavy explanation. When writers present results, they may include this symbol alongside limits or error terms to emphasize non equivalence. In teaching and math software, it helps keep discussions exact and readable. Overall, the symbol serves a focused role in expressing non-equality in asymptotic contexts.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2244 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.

How to type / insert
Fast copy: click the Copy button near the top of this page.
By codepoint: in many editors and IDEs, you can insert via the Unicode code U+2244 or a built‑in character picker.
HTML: use the numeric entity ≄ (hex) or ≄ (decimal) when an HTML entity is needed.
Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
