Not asymptotically equal to (≄) is the Mathematical Operators character at Unicode U+2244 (NOT ASYMPTOTICALLY EQUAL TO). It states that two expressions are not asymptotically equal — for example f(x) ≄ g(x).
Using Named Entity: ≄
Using Hex Code: ≄
Using HTML Code: ≄
Using CSS Entity: ≄
Example: f(x) ≄ g(x) as x → ∞
How It Works
1. Named:≄ (or ≄) is the clearest HTML form and renders ≄.
2. Hex:U+2244 → ≄ in HTML. Same result as the named entity.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8772 → ≄. Same result as hex.
4. CSS: use \2244 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ≄ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the not-asymptotically-equal entity.
Pair
≄ ≠ ≃
≄ is the negation. ≃ is the affirmative asymptotically equal to (≃).
Look-alikes
Not ≉ or ≠
≉ is ≉ (not almost equal). ≠ is ≠ (strict inequality). Pick the operator that matches your meaning.
Aliases
≄ = ≄
Both (and ≄) map to U+2244. Pick one and stay consistent.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2244 belongs in CSS. ≄ / ≄ / ≄ belong in HTML.
Encoding
Declare UTF-8
If you paste ≄ directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ≄, not &nsime.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Not asymptotically equal to (U+2244) and its entity forms (≄, ≄, ≄, CSS \\2244) are supported in all modern browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.
✓ Universal encoding
Not Asymptotically Equal To (≄)
Encode with named, hex, decimal, or CSS escape — or paste ≄ directly in UTF-8 HTML.

Bottom line: Prefer ≄ (or ≄) for readable HTML. Use \\2244 only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: this character is U+2244 (decimal 8772).
HTML: prefer ≄ (alias ≄) — or use ≄ / ≄.
Use ≄ or ≄ (named), ≄ (hex), ≄ (decimal), type ≄ in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \2244 in content. All render ≄. Prefer ≄ in HTML source.
U+2244 (NOT ASYMPTOTICALLY EQUAL TO). Hex 2244, decimal 8772. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. HTML5 defines ≄, ≄, and ≄ (aliases for the same character). Related: ≃ for ≃ (U+2243).
Use it when two expressions are not asymptotically equal (e.g. f(x) ≄ g(x) as x → ∞). Prefer ≄ for readable source. For the affirmative form use ≃ (≃).
HTML entities (≄, ≄, or ≄) go in markup. The CSS escape \2244 is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ≄.
≃ (U+2243, ≃) means asymptotically equal. ≈ (U+2248, ≈) means almost equal. ≄ (≄) specifically means not asymptotically equal — do not substitute one for another.
🤔
Did you know?
Not asymptotically equal to (≄) is Unicode U+2244 (decimal 8772) — NOT ASYMPTOTICALLY EQUAL TO in Mathematical Operators. HTML5 provides ≄, ≄, and ≄ (same glyph). It negates asymptotically equal to (≃, ≃, U+2243).
