Though it gets used as the "quotient-by-ideal" operator in algebraic geometry.
And there is it's appearance in the famous Fitzwillian Inn rebus: (!)
im = Import["https://www.cardcow.com/images/set190/card00288_fr.jpg"]

Unfortunately this one has been replaced of late by:
newimage =
Import["http://www.minervaclassics.com/railroad/WEAFitz03b.jpg"]
I will not actually show the newer one. Out of protest, I guess.
Here is a coding challenge. One can zoom in, more or less, on the (original) rebus from the picture as below. But I'm sure it could be done much better, possibly by some rotation magic to move the right side more forward for example.
im2 = Sharpen[ImageResize[ImageCrop[im, {130, 90}], {300, 300}], 15]
