I noticed the "+" but didn't notice/realize those other characters. But more importantly my point was to help us noobs that don't know those conventions with a simple cell that highlights that information for us.
on an aside, what if there is a combination of them? e.g. a bad move was also check ?+ or +?
also who defines all those?

Curiosity is thirst for knowledge. A check that is a bad move would be: +?. Check (+) is the move. Bad move (?) is the comment on the move.
A move always precedes any comment thereto, not otherwise. So, a Question Mark (?), in chess notation, can never precede a Plus Sign (+).
