Is the aspirin symbol you're using as + figure, a special kind of +, or just a different looking +? What does the circle around the + mean?

I'm mentioning this, as other people in this thread are discussing "explaining symbols you use", and you're using a non-standard symbol for +. I can easily imagine a circle around + making + a different operation, and wonder if it is so?

Aspirin I've bought in the past has a + on it, and its trademark is a + within a circle. That's why I've latched on what a "common person" might view the symbol as:

Interestingly, I have University level math courses, but decades out of date, and have never run into that symbol. I see it here:
