HTML Entity for Not Asymptotically Equal To (≄)
What You'll Learn
How to display the Not Asymptotically Equal To symbol (≄) in HTML using named, hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. This mathematical operator negates asymptotic equality and is used when two functions or sequences are not asymptotically equal (e.g. f(x) ≄ g(x) as x → ∞).
This character is U+2244 (NOT ASYMPTOTICALLY EQUAL TO) in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF). Render it with the named entity ≄, ≄, ≄, or CSS escape \2244. Compare with Asymptotically Equal To (≃, ≃) and Not Almost Equal To (≉).

#point::after{
content: "\2244";
}

🧠 How It Works
Named Entity
≄ is the HTML named entity for U+2244—the most readable choice when writing asymptotic-relation markup.
Hexadecimal Code
≄ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 2244 to display the not-asymptotically-equal symbol.
Decimal HTML Code
≄ uses the decimal Unicode value 8772 to display the same character.
CSS Entity
\2244 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.
Same visual result
All four methods produce: ≄. Unicode U+2244 in Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF).
Use Cases
The ≄ symbol (≄) is commonly used in:
Expressing that functions or sequences are not asymptotically equal.
Calculus, real analysis, and asymptotic theory published as HTML.
Algorithm analysis and complexity notation in online materials.
Big-O and asymptotic growth comparisons in course content.
Interactive math modules with web-based notation.
Unicode charts and HTML entity documentation for math symbols.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Use
≄for readable asymptotic-relation markup - Distinguish ≄ from ≃ (asymptotically equal) and ≈ (almost equal)
- Pair ≄ with plain-language description on first use
- Use numeric references in generated or XML-first workflows
- Serve pages with UTF-8 (
<meta charset="utf-8">)
Don’t
- Confuse ≄ (
≄) with ≃ (≃) - Confuse ≄ with ≉ (not almost equal) or ≈ (almost equal)
- Use padded Unicode notation like U+02244—the correct value is
U+2244 - Put CSS escape
\2244in HTML text nodes - Use
\02244in CSS—the correct escape is\2244
