Interpretation is the problem here, as I see it.

For purposes of calculation operations the comparison operator < means not
equal.

For purposes of "Symbol" the slashed = sign is correct.

All depends upon what OP was referring to.

I disagree. Those symbols mean less than and greater than.
Go to your Insert dropdown menu--Symbol ?...this is the equal sign with a
slash through it. When you click on it, the "Code" or "definition" will show
up on the left side of the box.
