What ⭄ means
A set is a collection of elements, such as numbers. A superset contains every element of another set: for example, the set containing 1, 2 and 3 contains the set containing 1 and 2. The curved sign represents this relationship.
In ⭄, the arrow's shaft crosses that curved sign and points right. Read the design as an inclusion sign combined with a rightward arrow. For calculations, follow the author's definition of the combined symbol rather than substituting an ordinary arrow or an ordinary superset sign.
