The meaning of underscore in :not(_)

I'm using :not() pseudoclass this way:

:not(_)

to increase the specificity of my selector. It does its job but I would like to know what is the meaning of this underscore and what impact on specificity (0,0,0) it has.

That's a simple Type selector, just one you're unlikely to find in normal circumstances.

var el = document.createElement('_');
document.body.append(el);
el.textContent = 'Hello';
_{ color: green; }
Say

Moreover when <_> markup wouldn't be valid.

<_>hello</_>
