"why" is not a mathematical symbol.

The first known use of the symbol π to represent the mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159... was by Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. However, it was the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler who popularized the use of π in his mathematical works and made it widely recognized.
Generally that's != or it could be <>. A != B A <> B Both are "A is not equal to B" but the first is more common. EDIT: the symbols above are used in programming, but in more simple mathematics the symbol is a ( =/= ) where an equal symbol ( = ) is slashed.
An equal sign IS two lines. Whatever mathemetician first invented the symbol apparently thought it was the best symbol to show equality (equal-ness).
Pi as a mathematical symbol was introduced by William Jones in 1706
The radical symbol for square root, without the vinculum above the radicand, was introduced in 1525. The first author to use it was Christoff Rudolff.

The pi symbol was introduced in 1706 by William Jones. The usage of the symbol was popularized by Leonhard Euler. He adopted it in 1737.
It is a linear inequality.
