Template for a note about what "unsigned" means in some MIPS instructions.

This operation is used to for both signed and unsigned integers (and is in fact the default used by C compilers). The "unsigned" part is misleading: it means that, if the sign changes, don't set the "overflow" error flag, which can cause an exception handler to trigger.
