U+2241
The symbol ≁ is commonly referred to as “Not Tilde.” It belongs to the Math category and has Unicode code point U+2241. Use it for quick, standards-based notation in text, documents, and code.
Not Tilde Symbol Meaning
≁ is the Unicode character “NOT TILDE” (U+2241). In practice, it’s used as a mathematical relation sign to express a “not tilde” relationship rather than the tilde-based counterpart. Depending on the context (for example, in formal notation or document typesetting), it can be read as “not approximately similar” or “not related by tilde-like equivalence,” but the exact interpretation is determined by the surrounding notation and the rules of the system you’re using. When you need a clean, cross-platform symbol, copy ≁ directly or insert it using its HTML entity (≁) or Unicode escape.
Common uses
- •Writing mathematical statements where a tilde-style relation must be negated.
- •Editing equations in plain text documents that rely on Unicode math symbols.
- •Annotating comparisons in technical writing (e.g., specifying a condition that does not hold).
- •Labeling figures or notes in math-heavy reports or presentations.
- •Using the symbol in code comments or documentation that mirrors mathematical notation.
Examples
≁ Not Tilde Symbol
- ≁Let A ≁ B under the chosen relation.
- ≁We assume x ≁ y for this step of the proof.
- ≁If the condition fails, write f ≁ g.
- ≁The data set satisfies S ≁ T, not S ~ T.
- ≁In this notation, ≁ indicates the negated tilde relation.
