What ⊾ means
The arc marks the angle between the two sides. In ⊾, those sides form a right angle, like a corner of a square. Lines meeting at this angle are perpendicular.
Geometry drawings also mark right angles with a small square at the vertex, the point where the sides meet. An arc alone does not carry that same guarantee: it can highlight an acute, right or obtuse angle. Read ⊾ as a complete symbol, rather than treating every curved angle mark as a sign for 90.
