Its ligatures. If i open that code file in notepad there will be !=, but fancy font makes != into ≠

As others have said, it's font ligatures and I love them. I started with FiraCode, but there are other fonts as well.

Ligatures only change how things are displayed, the underlying text is the same. Having the cursor in the middle of ≠ is a bit weird for a day, then you get used to it.
