That's a tougher situation, agreed. Other than contacting the
person(s) responsible for the Web-based form to ask for assistance,
or inquiring whether they will accept a PDF copy of the professor's
study document outside the Web forms-based submission process, your
professor might try making sure that the the 'unequals' character is
added as a character in the Symbol font, rather than as a character
in some other specialized font.
From what I recall, they can do that either by choosing the
"Insert->Symbol" command in Word or by choosing the Symbol font, then
entering the code for the character via Alt+nnnn, where 'nnnn' is the
appropriate character code.
