First, please note that you can't put the extra Mathematica character
codes into messages here, you must spell them out - e.g. \[PlusMinus]
This operator has no built-in meaning (like many others supplied by
Mathematica), so the operator does nothing by default. However, it is
easy to make it do something useful. For example you might decide to
expand a list of expressions that contained this operator, using
transformation rules.
