You can't. Enum members follow the normal rules for names - same as methods, properties, fields and namespaces. All you can do is use the word "Plus" or "Minus" instead.
You should never use standby on an elephant. It always crashes when you lift the ears. - Mark Wallace C/C++ (I dont see a huge difference between them, and the 'benefits' of C++ are questionable, who needs inheritance when you have copy and paste) - fat_boy

Yes. In C#, all identfiers (methods, properties, fields, and namespaces) must adhere to the following rules: The name can contain letters, digits, and the underscore character (_). The first character of the name must be a letter. The underscore is also a legal first character, but its use is not recommended at the beginning of a name. An underscore is often used with special commands, and it's sometimes hard to read. Case matters (that is, upper- and lowercase letters). C# is case-sensitive; thus, the names count and Count refer to two different variables. C# keywords can't be used as variable names. Recall that a keyword is a word that is part of the C# language. The characters '+', '-', '(' ')', '=', ',', ';' and many others cannot be used in the name of any identifier. So, no. You can't do it. At all. Ever.

You can only use underscores and alphnumeric characters in enum ordinal names. You also can't start the name with a digit.

Add a Description attribute, and use reflection to extract the description from that e.g
[Description("D+")]
DPlusThere are numerous samples showing how to do this.

As Pete said, use a
System.ComponentModel.DescriptionAttribute. See also my Enum Utilities[^] for ways to work with them more easily.
