What ㈾ means
㈾ abbreviates (資) for 合資会社.
合資会社 names a Japanese company form, roughly comparable to a limited partnership. 資 can mean “resources” or “capital” alone; Japanese government guidance and company-history charts use (資) for this form.
Formal Japanese company-form shorthand.
In a company name, read the form—not “resources.”
