In investigating an unrelated problem, I found a very useful xmcd file on this discussion board. But there is a symbol I don't recognize. Can someone tell me what the circled operators in the image below do?
Also a nice feature would be to hover over an operator and for a popup to appear saying what the operator is and link to the help file for that operator.

Is it defined in the worksheet? Can you post a link to the worksheet, please?

Well, you can find this symbol in the "Custom Characters" toolbar (in main menu select "View" --> "Toolbars" --> "Custom Characters"):
Not esoteric at all. Its just a custom character, a symbol, not a predefined function. On its own it accomplishes nothing at all.
In the sheet you referenced there are a couple of closed regions. Right at the beginning if you open the first region you will find a function defined for the calculation of the parallel connection of resistors. This function was given the "name" // using that custom character.
Later in the sheet this very function is used using the infix notation
