Definition

What Is Square Original Of Not Equal To?

Square original of or not equal to (⋥) is the Unicode character at U+22E5 in Mathematical Operators. Official name: SQUARE ORIGINAL OF OR NOT EQUAL TO. It is a square-style original-of relation that also marks inequality — the dual of ⋤.

Remember

Character     ⋥
Unicode       U+22E5
Named entity  (none)
Hex entity    &#x22E5;
Decimal       &#8933;
CSS escape    \22E5
Not the same  ⊐ · ⊒ · ⋣

Prefer ⋥ or ⋥ in HTML markup. You can also type ⋥ in UTF-8. For plain square original of, use &sqsup; (⊐) instead.

Reference

Quick Reference

One table for every form you will actually use.

Form	Code	Where it goes
Named entity	None	Use numeric or type the character
Direct character	`⋥`	HTML text (UTF-8)
Hex entity	`⋥`	HTML markup (preferred)
Decimal entity	`⋥`	HTML markup
CSS escape	`\22E5`	Stylesheet `content`
Square original of (related)	⊐ (U+2290)	Named `&sqsup;`

When to Use Which

Situation	Use
Square original of or not equal to	`⋥` or type `⋥`
Plain square original of	⊐ (`&sqsup;`)

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Square Original Of Not Equal To (⋥)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\22E5";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x22E5;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#8933;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ⋥</p>
  <p>Notation: A &#x22E5; B</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+22E5 → ⋥ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.

2. Decimal: same code point as 8933 → ⋥. Same glyph as hex.

3. CSS: use \22E5 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⋥ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / notation: paste ⋥ in UTF-8, or write A ⋥ B for a short relation.

5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+22E5 — use numeric references or type the character.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+22E5.

vs ⊐

Not plain square original of

U+2290 (⊐, &sqsup;) is the basic relation. U+22E5 adds the “not equal” sense.

vs ⊒

Not or-equal form

⊒ (U+2292, &sqsupe;) means square original of or equal to — the opposite inequality flavor.

vs ⋣

Not &nsqsupe;

⋣ (U+22E3) is “not square original of or equal to.” Different character and different named entity.

Named

No named HTML entity

There is no &sqsupneq; for U+22E5. Use ⋥ or ⋥.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\22E5 belongs in CSS strings. ⋥ / ⋥ belong in HTML.

A11y

Name the relation in context

Screen readers may announce this symbol unevenly. Prefer nearby text when the glyph carries meaning alone.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Square original of or not equal to (U+22E5) and its entity forms (⋥, ⋥, CSS \\22E5) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Mathematical Operators font coverage.

✓ Universal support

Square Original Of Not Equal To (⋥)

Encode with hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same code point everywhere encoding is supported.

Bottom line: Prefer ⋥ or ⋥ in HTML. Use \\22E5 only inside CSS content. There is no named entity.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: this relation is U+22E5 (decimal 8933) — glyph ⋥.
HTML: no named entity — use ⋥ / ⋥ / type ⋥.
CSS: use \22E5 inside content for generated text.
Meaning: ⋥ is “or not equal” — not ⊐ (&sqsup;), not ⊒.

One line: U+22E5 → ⋥ / ⋥ / CSS \22E5 (no named entity).
