 ### The Empty Set
-* The empty set can be constructed in set builder notation using impossible conditions, e.g. `∅ = { x : x =/= x }`, or `∅ = { x : x ∈ N, x < 0 }`;
+* The empty set can be constructed in set builder notation using impossible conditions, e.g. `∅ = { x : x ≠ x }`, or `∅ = { x : x ∈ N, x < 0 }`;
 * the empty set is always unique (i.e. there is one and only one empty set);
 * the empty set is a subset of all sets;
 * the cardinality of the empty set is 0, i.e. `|∅| = 0`.
