What ⧟ means
⧟ is a specialist mathematical relation sign associated with a double-ended multimap. The surrounding notation tells you the exact role it plays in a formula.
A 2015 Unicode proposal documents the same shape in Nikita Syrnikov's Orthodox service notation, where it marks a double service in a system linked to Isidore Dolnitsky's 1899 Typicon, a book of church services. This records a use of the shape, not its origin.
Technical and niche; outside mathematics or specialist church notation, its meaning may not be clear.
