When the subset is missing some elements that are in the set it is being compared to, it is a proper subset. when the subset is the set itself, it is an improper subset. The symbol used to indicate (cid:1688)is a proper subset of(cid:1689) is . When there is the possibility of using an improper subset, the symbol used is .
