I have no idea what this symbol means.

This is not a standard header.

The above is an illegal definition for main(). The C language
requires that main() be defined with a return type of int in a hosted
environment.

You are asking in the wrong place. None of the following have
anything at all to do with the C language:
tchar.h
TCHAR
_T
_topen()
_tprintf()
Each and every one of these things is a compiler specific extension.
None of them are defined by or part of the C language, so there is
literally no C language answer to the question of how they should
work. Ask this in a support group for the particular compiler that
supplies these non-standard extensions.
