Two lines that are not parallel are perpendicular. The symbol is +.
The first English mathematician to use the modern symbol of equality (=) was Robert Recorde. He introduced this symbol in his work "The Whetstone of Witte" published in 1557. Recorde chose the symbol because he believed that "no two things can be more equal" than two parallel lines, which he used to represent equality.
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.
