U+2ACB "⫋" Subset of Above Not Equal To Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2ACB "⫋" Subset of Above Not Equal To is a mathematical symbol used in set theory and logic to denote that one set is a proper subset of another, but with the additional nuance that the relationship is explicitly not equal to the superset, as indicated by the "not equal to" stroke through the standard subset symbol. Unlike the simple proper subset symbol (⊂), which can sometimes ambiguously mean either proper or improper subset depending on context, this character provides a clear, unambiguous notation for a subset that is strictly smaller and distinct from the containing set. It is encoded in the Unicode Supplemental Mathematical Operators block and is typically used in advanced mathematical texts, academic papers, or formal proofs where precise relational notation is essential.
