I was googling about the sign for square root on the keyboard and found command+v
but when I press it, it gives math eq like 2*2+2*2+2
. It is like it is built into it. why does the command+v
gives you such math eq? and as a developer what can I use to denote square root?

You mean this… √ ?
That's on Opt ⌥ V
There are no characters/glyphs accessed by the Cmd ⌘ key at all. Cmd ⌘ V is Paste.
You can find more complex glyphs using the Character Viewer [Emoji & Symbols]. Double-click the glyph in the viewer to enter it at the caret.
