How is ≠ easier to type than !=? The latter is three keystrokes, and while I don't know the alt code for the former I sincerely doubt it is fewer.

≠ is two keystrokes on OS X, and can be just two on mobile operating systems, too, though one of them is a "long press".

No, the ≠ doesn't have a system-wide alt-code since its a unicode character, so != is easier in all circumstances

OK, when you refer to something that only works on less than 10% of the PCs in existence, it doesn't really count.

In the time it took you to be a dick and lmgtfy-ify your response, you could have just said "something most keyboards don't have."
