I would very much appreciate some help as to how to interpret the sign
of the coefficient associated with the squared term of an explanatory

The best way of interpreting it is graphically. For example:

sysuse auto
reg mpg c.weight##c.weight
twoway function x*_b[weight] + x^2*_b[c.weight#c.weight], range (weight)
