   What is Use Of +-     

 

   That's called "plus or minus" and used to indicate that a value can be either positive or negative.     

   The most common usage is for square roots.  Example: sqrt(4) = +2   (+2)2 = +4 and (–2)2 = +4.     

   I make the symbol by typing a + and then underlining it.  Some people do it the way that you did.     

   There's an Alt- code that will insert it, but I don't like the way it looks.  Alt-0177 is ±   Alt-241 is ±
