What ⫠ means
No. ⫠ and are separate mathematical characters.
The familiar can express perpendicularity—lines meeting at a right angle—and also appears in logic for falsity or contradiction. Those readings do not automatically carry over to ⫠. When transcribing mathematics, keep the sign the author used and follow the text's definition rather than replacing it with .
The name describes the drawing: “up” is the direction of the stem, and “short” distinguishes it from the ordinary up tack. Fonts can change its proportions, so the visible height is not a reliable way to identify the character.

Questions people ask
1Why does ⫠ show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
