❔ Type is Typeof Dictionary

I need to test if a System.Type

is a Dictionary of any kind, but when I do this check, it doesn't pass it. How do I test for this?

if (t == typeof(Dictionary<,>))
            {
                Debug.Log("Dictionary");
                return $"{{{ConvertType(t.GenericTypeArguments[0])}:{ConvertType(t.GenericTypeArguments[1])}}}";
            }

if (t == typeof(Dictionary<,>))
            {
                Debug.Log("Dictionary");
                return $"{{{ConvertType(t.GenericTypeArguments[0])}:{ConvertType(t.GenericTypeArguments[1])}}}";
            }

I did a log of the type.tostring after and it said

System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Object]

System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Object]

so I believe it is indeed a dictionary. Shouldn't it have passed the check?
