Unicode Version 17.0
₊
U+208A "₊" Subscript Plus Sign is a typographic glyph used primarily in mathematical and scientific notation to represent a plus sign that is smaller and positioned lower than a standard plus sign, aligning with the baseline of subscript text. It is part of the Superscripts and Subscripts block in Unicode, designed to facilitate clear formatting in equations, chemical formulas, or numeric subscripts where a plus sign indicates a positive charge or addition without disrupting vertical spacing. This character provides a precise and standardized alternative to manually formatting a plus sign, ensuring consistency across digital text and documents.
