How to produce the ≉ symbol?

[jw3126]

 How to produce the ` ≉` character in julia? I tried detexify and it told me `\not\isapprox` but that does not work. More generally if I see some cool UTF-8 character how do I find out its Latex name?

(on Mac): what seems to work is to first use \approx + tab to get ≈, and then go back one character and type \not + tab. If you first use \not + tab, and then start typing \approx, the not acts only on the \ . If you write \not\approx + tab, the \not is not being substituted.

Okay, thanks. I tried

`\approx + tab + go 1 back + \not + tab`

It gives me the same thing as

`\not + tab + \approx + tab`

on ubuntu with both atom and jupyter. It gives me something that does look roughly but not exactly like ≉. I think it is two symbols on top of each other, a slash thingy and ≈. Anyway julia does not like it:

`

LoadError: syntax: invalid character "̸"
while loading In[38], in expression starting on line 1
`

Use `\napprox`

The canonical list of completions is in the latex_symbols.jl file within the julia source
