≢ is the Unicode character NOT IDENTICAL TO, code point U+2262 (decimal 8802) in the Mathematical Operators block, added in Unicode 1.1. In HTML write ≢, and in UTF-8 it is the 3 bytes E2 89 A2.
Codes
| Where | How to write it |
|---|---|
| Code point | U+2262 |
| Decimal | 8802 |
| UTF-8 bytes | E2 89 A2 |
| UTF-16 (big-endian) | 2262 |

| Python by name | \N{NOT IDENTICAL TO} |
| Java, C# | \u2262 |
| Rust, Swift | \u{2262} |
| Go, C, C++ | \u2262 |
| URL (percent-encoded) | %E2%89%A2 |
JavaScript and JSON strings store text as UTF-16, so this character is one code unit long. Python 3 strings count code points, so its length there is 1.

Decomposition
NOT IDENTICAL TO is canonically equivalent to the sequence below. Normalising text to NFD splits it into these parts; NFC joins them back into U+2262. Search and comparison should normalise first, or the two spellings will not match.
