Symbol for parallel lines is .
William first used the symbol for parallel.
Two lines that are not parallel are perpendicular. The symbol is +.
To insert the parallel symbol (∥) in Microsoft Word, you can use the Symbol feature. Go to the "Insert" tab, click on "Symbol," and then select "More Symbols." In the Symbol dialog box, find the parallel symbol in the list, select it, and click "Insert." Alternatively, you can type the Unicode for the symbol (U+2225) followed by pressing "Alt" + "X" to convert it into the parallel symbol.
William Oughtred(1574-1660) was the first to use the symbol for parallel.

The answer is ""
The symbol is two parallel, vertical lines. I don't believe that it is directly related to the equal symbol; although it is possible that the vertical position was chosen precisely to avoid confusion.

Two lines are parallel when they are perfectly straight, side by side. Train tracks for example. The symbol for parallel is: (I.E. AB)
The symbol used to denote parallel sides is "∥". For example, if line segment AB is parallel to line segment CD, it can be expressed as AB ∥ CD. This notation is commonly used in geometry to indicate that two lines or line segments will never intersect, regardless of their length.
