U+295C "⥜" Upwards Harpoon with Barb Right from Bar Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⥜
U+295C "⥜" Upwards Harpoon with Barb Right from Bar is a specialized typographic symbol typically used in mathematical notation, particularly in the field of category theory for diagram chasing and in the study of adjoint functors. It visually depicts an upward-pointing harpoon with its barb directed to the right, emerging from a horizontal bar, which often indicates a specific type of morphism or mapping within a commutative diagram. This character is part of the Supplemental Arrows-B block, designed to extend the arrow repertoire beyond basic Unicode arrows, and it serves to denote nuanced relationships such as natural transformations or retractions where direction and attachment are significant.
