Special Character Help

I hope it is okay to post this topic here. This is the place I thought it would get the most views by those who would know the answer.

I need help figuring out the key strokes (alt and number sequence) for a special character. I need an equal sign with a slash through it (= and / combined).

A quick Google search did not give me the results I needed, and you all seem faster than Google anyway. I need it rather quickly.

Thank you!

 

Font: Symbol
Character: ¹

Can't tell you the code sequence.
Just try copying the above character then changing the font to Symbol.

EDIT: Just found it in Times New Roman
≠

 

In Open Office, check your menu options at the top of your screen. Choose:

Insert

Then choose:

Special Character...

It's way down the list, so you have to scroll, but it's there. Its shortcut listing is: U+2260.

 

They say I'm a special character.

What's it for? IF you can c&p, here: ≠

 

C&P worked! Thank you, IJAG!!!!

(Have I told you lately how much I love you??)

Can you believe that I need it for an Anthropology paper I am writing? On the Ju/hoansi people. The name of every person mentioned has some symbol in their name!

 

I was going to try fossy's suggestion next. I had already tried JD's. Thank you all for saving me!

 

Don't love a special character. We just make lives difficult.

Not as stylish, but usable: Alt+2264

 

N≠tisa and ≠Toma were what I was going for. I had already used !Xam, K"au and Hwan//a and Tin!kay as much as I could

 

How is that pronounced? Any idea?

 

None whatsoever. It is on online class and this is outside reading, so I do not have the benefit of hearing an instructor lecture. If I had to guess, I would put it in the vicinity of some of the names I heard spoken in the movie Amistad. Though the movie took place 200 years before this book was written.

 

Looks like the last prep girls basketball boxscore I took over the phone.
