What ⯽ means

It marks a passed pawn. No enemy pawn ahead on its file or either neighboring file can block or capture it.

Informator, a Serbian chess magazine important since the 1960s, used compact marks so books could annotate games without relying on one language. A multilingual chess-endings encyclopedia printed the table in 1993. A 2017 Unicode proposal documented nine missing marks, including this one.

Specialist chess notation; outside a position note, its meaning may be unclear.

It marks a passed pawn, not approval.
