When to use it

Means “is not equal to” in maths.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&ne;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\2260"; }

const s = "\u2260";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.

How to type not equal sign

  • Windows: press Win + . to open the emoji and symbol panel and search for it, or type 2260 then Alt + X in Word.
  • Mac: Option + = (US keyboard layout).
  • Linux: Ctrl + Shift + U, then 2260 and Enter.
HTML Entity EncoderEscape < > & " so text is safe to show in HTML, convert accents and symbols to named or numeric entities, or decode entity-filled HTML back to plain text.
