What is the symbol for does not equal?
Also, how do you make the not equal sign on the keyboard?
The not equal sign (≠) is used to denote items where they don't equal to each other, for example 1 ≠ 2. One way to enter the not equal to symbol in Word is to type 2260 followed by alt x. Alternatively the symbol can be found by going to the insert tab and symbols under the subset mathematical operations.

---|---|---|
≈ | almost equal to; asymptotic to | ALT+8776 |
≠ | not equal to | ALT+8800 |
≡ | identical to | ALT+8801 |
≤ | less-than or equal to | ALT+8804 |
Simply so, what does ≠ mean?
≠ means not equal. For example 2 + 2 ≠ 5 - 2. In computer applications (like Excel) the symbols <> mean not equal.
The symbol used to denote inequation — when items are not equal — is a slashed equals sign "≠" (Unicode 2260). Most programming languages, limiting themselves to the ASCII character set, use ~=, != , /=, =/=, or <> to represent their boolean inequality operator.
