U+2919 "⤙" Leftwards Arrow-Tail Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⤙
U+2919 "⤙" Leftwards Arrow-Tail is a typographic symbol classified under the Supplemental Arrows-B block, designed to represent a leftward pointing arrow with a distinct, forked or split tail instead of a standard arrowhead. It is often used in mathematical notation, logic, or diagrammatic contexts to denote a specific directional relationship or mapping that differs from a simple arrow, such as indicating a leftwards partial function or a distinct kind of implication. Although its visual construction resembles an ordinary left arrow, the unique tail adds a layer of semantic precision, making it a niche but useful glyph for technical writing and symbolic logic.
