What ⥷ means
No; the surrounding notation decides. MathML 3, a standard for displaying mathematical formulas, lists ⥷ as an infix operator—one placed between expressions—but gives it no named operation. Read the surrounding definitions before assigning the arrow a meaning.
What does the proposal tell us?
It proposed a relation symbol, not a universal rule. In 1999, the STIX Project, a collaboration of publishers of scientific, technical, and mathematical books and journals, proposed ⥷ among additions for digital scholarly publishing. Its table classifies the shape as a relation but names no specific operation.

1Why does ⥷ show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
