What ⥭ means
Read it by the formula’s own convention. Unicode names the shape, not a universal relation; check the formula’s definitions or legend for the intended reading.
A 2002 Unicode math report lists it as lrhard in the ISOAMS entity set. An entity is a named markup token for a character, so this records its math-typesetting history rather than defining a formula’s meaning.

Questions people ask
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.
