Possibly.
Explanation:
The idea here is that even if we agree that adding the minus-plus symbol to the list would be useful, that is not likely to happen anytime soon.
However, you can find alternative solutions if you want.
You can actually get a minus-plus symbol by using the stackrel()() function.
- without the hashtags
stackrel("---")(+)2
- with the hashtags
#stackrel("---")(+)2#
It's far from perfect, no doubt about that, but it gets the job done.
Alternatively, you can use Unicode to get this symbol.
The minus-plus sign is Unicode character 2213, so you can write in MS Word first by using writing 2213 followed by ALT + X.
Simply copy/paste the sign to the editor. It will look like this
- without the hashtags
∓2
- with the hashtags
#∓2#
Again, far from perfect, but you can use it if you want.
