Let me see if I understood:

~= <nil>

=~ U+2245

~~ U+2248

|= U+2243  -->> Hmmm.... Wouldn't \(-~ or \(~- be more mnemonic?

What about:

        -~ -> U+2242

        ~- -> U+2243

        |~ -> U+2244

        |= -> U+2246?

        And

        ~= -> U+224A, or better yet, U+224C?

Sorry I don't have the English Unicode names table handy, I am cheating 
with the char map utility in Win2K and looking at the glyphs in Lucida Sans 
Unicode, all names are translated to Spanish :). Of course this is an 
academic exercise, for anything but the DVI driver (symbol doesn't have 
most of these glyphs, and the CM Math fonts have some but not all of them).
