What ⫀ means
The plus has no fixed reading on its own. Plain means the left set contains the right; ⫀ adds a plus. A 1999 Unicode memo groups it with subset and superset relations, recording a classification rather than an origin.
Unicode's reference drawing is not prescriptive, so fonts may vary.
Specialist set notation; read it with the author's definition.
Don't infer the plus's rule from the glyph alone.

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.
