Using "≈" and "≠" sign on internet text.
These are literally long press options on the "=" key.
A physical keyboard has entered the chat
======================
Tried long pressing the "=" key. My keyboard is now egalitarian.
Compose key gang
What about on desktop?
I hit the Compose key and then =/ gives ≠, but I don't seem to be able to enter ≈. For that and more obscure characters I'd open Emacs and run insert-char.
It's just compose ~ ~ (tilde tilde). The compose key sequences are often the most logical thing you can think of. Emacs C-x 8 is good but you have to try and guess the unicode name of the character.
Gee, how did I ever live without knowing that? Are you a mathematician?
there is no more perfect symbol than the interrobang
Traditional chess literature has "!? = questionable move". Is this the same thing?
It's the interrobang. It literally means "?!" Like WTF?! But in one symbol. It mattered when "cost per letter" or typesetting spacing mattered. I still like it and use it often enough. As for chess, honestly, yeah, it could be used for that.

Wait what O.o

‽ is also important
Is it‽
