History & usage: The symbol U+22ED is a mathematical operator. It represents the statement that a set does not contain a subgroup as normal or does not equal another. In history, such symbols were created to express specific relations in algebra and group theory. It helps writers show that a property fails in a structure. Usage in formulas and user interfaces shows up in math editors and educational texts. Common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. This symbol is used when a claim about containment or equality must be negated. It appears with standard set notation and with group notation to mark a negative result. In math software, the symbol helps run checks and display results clearly. Even with many notations, this symbol keeps intent precise. It is part of the Mathematical Operators block and sits in the Common script. Practitioners use it to avoid long phrases and to keep formulas readable. Remember the focus is negation of a containment or equality relation in a compact form.

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