What does π+,or π-, or π0 mean

,, and these are the antiparticles of one another. The uncharged pions are combinations of an up quark with an anti-up quark or a down quark with an anti-down quark, have identical quantum numbers, and hence they are only found in superpositions.......
im trying to find the charge of a particle called the pi-meson, but all i get is π+, what does this mean and what number is this?

Pions are mesons with zero spin, and they are composed of first-generation quarks. In the quark model, an up quark and an anti-down quark make up a π+
, whereas a down quark and an anti-up quark make up the π−
, and these are the antiparticles of one another. The uncharged pions are combinations of an up quark with an anti-up quark or a down quark with an anti-down quark, have identical quantum numbers, and hence they are only found in superpositions. The lowest-energy superposition of these is the π0
, which is its own antiparticle. Together, the pions form a triplet of isospin. Each pion has isospin (I = 1) and third-component isospin equal to its charge (Iz = +1, 0 or −1).
