Equal Not

The equal-not icon represents inequality and non-matching conditions in mathematical and logical applications. Featuring two horizontal lines crossed out with a diagonal slash, this symbol indicates when values are not equal, conditions don't match, or comparisons show differences rather than equivalence.

In modern applications like programming IDEs such as VS Code's conditional logic or spreadsheet software like Excel's formula validation, you'll see this icon when expressing inequality conditions and mismatch scenarios. It appears in data validation systems when values don't meet equality criteria, in quality control applications when measurements fall outside acceptable ranges, and in educational programming platforms when teaching conditional logic and comparison operations.

From a logical programming perspective, the crossed-out equals symbol communicates more than just "different" - it specifically indicates failed equality tests, conditional branching points, and the critical decision-making moments where systems must handle non-matching data. This distinction helps programmers and analysts identify where inequality handling becomes essential for robust system behavior.

Equal Not is one of 1,655 icons in Lucide, made by Lucide Contributors and released under ISC. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds EqualNotIcon to components/icons/lucide-equal-not.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed EqualNotIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Yes, if your project has lucide-react: Equal Not is `EqualNotIcon` there, used as <EqualNotIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Equal Not icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Equal Not is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Equal Not", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. EqualNotIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <EqualNotIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. ISC allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: ISC only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Lucide, Lucide Contributors and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

1 other library draws an icon called Equal Not. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are mathematics, logic, comparison, equal and inequality. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Equal Not in another set.
