What it is and where it’s used: Does Not Succeed or Equal 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: The character DOES NOT SUCCEED OR EQUAL has the code point U+22E1. It is listed in the Mathematical Operators block and uses the Common script. The symbol is defined for use in math notation and related interfaces. In practice, it appears in formulas and digital interfaces where a relation or outcome does not meet a given standard. The information here reflects its formal name and placement in the character set. Usage notes show that symbols in this family convey operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. This helps writers and developers choose the right glyph when expressing a nonstandard or nonconforming relationship in equations or display text. As with other mathematical operators, it supports clear communication of how one side relates to another. The symbol thus serves as a precise indicator rather than a generic marker. Users encounter it whenever there is a need to show a failed comparison or a break in equivalence in a compact form. The consistency of its block and script supports predictable rendering across systems.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+22E1 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.
