What ⃤ means
Type the base first; ⃤ follows it.
Append the triangle mark directly after a character, with no space. In !⃤, the exclamation mark is the base, making a warning-like construction; 🚶⃤ is a pedestrian warning construction. A letter or other symbol supplies a different subject.
A proposal dated 23 February 1998 called it “Triangular Overlay Character”; a 7 December 1998 request entered the ISO/IEC 10646 process. In March 1999, working-group minutes gave the accepted mark its current name and treated it as a reusable text overlay.
Why does ⃤ attach to the previous character?
It follows the character it modifies.
Combining marks follow their base in text order. Put a space or another character between a base and ⃤, and the mark attaches to the character immediately before it instead.
Font support and positioning control the result: a font may draw the enclosure differently, place it poorly, or omit it.
Is ⃤ the same as ?
No: is a warning sign; ⃤ modifies a base.
The sequence !⃤ combines an exclamation mark with an enclosure and can resemble ⚠. Use ⚠ when you mean the warning sign itself; △ is an independent triangle, while ⃤ must follow a character.
A technical text mark: the base supplies the subject, so the result reads as a constructed sign or annotation.
For the warning sign itself, use ; ⃤ must follow a base.

1Why does the triangle mark render differently?
It depends on the font. The font needs the mark and instructions for placing it around its base; without those, it may place the triangle differently or leave it out.
