U+2214 "∔" Dot Plus Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
∔
U+2214 "∔" Dot Plus is a mathematical symbol used to represent an operation similar to addition but with a subtle distinction, often functioning as a binary operator in various fields such as algebra and computer science to denote a modified or specific sum, such as the direct sum of vector spaces or a logical operator in some formal systems. Its visual design combines a standard plus sign with a small dot centered in each of the four quadrants created by the cross, clearly distinguishing it from related symbols like the circled plus or the regular plus sign.
