History & usage: PLUS SIGN WITH DOT BELOW is a mathematical symbol used in some formulas. Its codepoint is U+2A25, and it sits in the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. The symbol is part of the Common script family. In history, it appears in contexts that require a plus sign with an extra dot for emphasis or to distinguish from a standard plus. Users may see it in advanced math texts or specialized notation. The dot below helps to avoid confusion with other similar symbols. It can signal a specific operation or a distinct relationship in an equation. In user interfaces, common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. This means the symbol may appear in software that involves symbolic math, data analysis, or instructional content. It is not everyday handwriting, but it remains relevant for precise notation. When it is used, readers expect a clear plus-like action with an added mark. That mark can change meaning, depending on the field or software. Overall, the symbol serves as a precise variant of the plus sign for defined roles in formulas.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2A25 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.

HTML: use the numeric entity ⨥ (hex) or ⨥ (decimal) when an HTML entity is needed.
Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
