U+2972 "⥲" Tilde Operator Above Rightwards Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⥲
U+2972 "⥲" Tilde Operator Above Rightwards Arrow is a mathematical symbol that combines a standard rightwards arrow with a tilde placed directly above the shaft of the arrow, typically used in formal logic or mathematics to denote a specific relational or functional operation, such as a relation that is "almost" or "approximately" a rightwards mapping, or to indicate an arrow with a modified, non standard property. Its inclusion in the Supplemental Arrows B block allows it to serve specialized notation in academic texts, particularly where precise symbolic distinctions are required to express concepts like asymptotic equivalence or transformation under a tilde defined operator.
