TITLE: Is there a symbol for potential equality?
QUESTION [14 upvotes]: Is there a symbol for potential equality? Essentially I'd like to condense:
$$
(a = b) \lor (a \ne b)
$$
so that I can express the phrase "a may or may not be equal to b". Apologies if my syntax is not entirely correct; I come from a computer science background.

The Unicode symbol ≟ can be used for questionable equality.
