U+2960 "⥠" Upwards Harpoon with Barb Left from Bar Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⥠
U+2960 "⥠" Upwards Harpoon with Barb Left from Bar is a mathematical symbol belonging to the Supplemental Arrows-B block, designed for use in formal notation, particularly in fields like logic and category theory. It depicts an upward pointing harpoon with a barb on the left side, originating from a short horizontal bar, which can represent operations such as a partial function or a mapping that points upward from a base. The inclusion of the bar suggests a point of origin or a base set, and the left-facing barb provides directional specificity, making the symbol distinct from similar harpoons like the Upwards Harpoon with Barb Right from Bar (U+295F) or the plain Upwards Harpoon with Barb Left (U+21BC).
