U+27F5 "⟵" Long Leftwards Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⟵
U+27F5 "⟵" Long Leftwards Arrow is a mathematical symbol representing a long leftwards arrow, used primarily in formal notation to indicate a leftward direction, mapping, or transformation, often in contexts like mathematics, logic, or computer science where a longer arrow is needed for clarity in formulas or diagrams. It is part of the "Supplemental Arrows-A" block and is distinct from the shorter standard leftwards arrow (U+2190) by its extended length, which helps prevent confusion with other symbols in densely written expressions.
