Not Parallel To Symbol Meaning
∦ (Unicode name: NOT PARALLEL TO, U+2226) is a mathematical comparison symbol used to state that two objects are not parallel. In geometry, it’s often written between line symbols or directional vectors to indicate they do not share the same direction. In diagrams and technical writing, it can also clarify that a relationship does not satisfy a parallelism condition. When formatting text, the best results come from using a Unicode-capable font and inserting the character directly, or using the provided HTML entity / CSS escape.
