Word origin
加号 (jiāhào, "plus sign") combines 加 (jiā, "add") with 号 (hào, "sign"), giving the idea of a sign for adding that can also mark a positive value.
Usage tips
- In a phone number, the same mark introduces an international format, so it signals country-code notation rather than a calculation.
