History & usage: The symbol PLUS SIGN WITH SUBSCRIPT TWO is part of the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. It represents a plus with a subscript two and is used in math text and formulas. This character appears in contexts where a plus operation must be shown with extra subscript notation. It helps distinguish between different operations or versions in a formula. In user interfaces, this symbol can appear to mark an operation alongside other subscripted elements. The PLUS SIGN WITH SUBSCRIPT TWO is a tool for precise notation. It supports clear communication in technical writing and educational content. When writers or developers need to display an addition that involves a subscript, they may choose this symbol. The overall purpose is to convey addition with an attached subscript in a compact form. This aligns with the broader use of common math symbols to indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2A27 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.
