That could be an exculsive or. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_or
It might show up on some electrical cricuts in the physical sections. Good thing I am an engineer!! ERTW ftw

At constant pressure enthalpy is, for all intents and purposes, equal to internal energy change
At constant volume enthalpy is the same as heat
