I've seen that some people they have Visual Studio Code showing ≠ instead of a classic !=. Does anyone know how one can enable this option?

I've tried to search for an option to enable this, but I didn't encounter anything in the code editor's settings or the internet.

    I don't know if there's an additional setting you need to enable, but the first thing to do is make sure you're using a font that supports ligatures. – Slaw Jan 30 '23 at 07:58
  • https://www.itnota.com/enable-font-ligatures-visual-studio-code/ "font ligatures" with a font that supports it, such as "fira code". This Q should probably go to superuser.com, as it is not really about software development. – knittl Jan 30 '23 at 08:24

It's called a ligature. You need to get a font that supports the specific ligatures that you want to have.

To find out how to set it up for Visual Studio Code, see How do i setup font ligatures for Visual Studio Code?.

To find such fonts, try googling programming fonts with ligatures. I won't list any because Stack Overflow is not for technology recommendations, and I don't want to seed bias or have to maintain a list when new ones become very popular.
