Unicode Version 17.0
⥷
U+2977 "⥷" Leftwards Arrow Through Less-Than is a specialized arrow symbol included in the Supplemental Arrows-B block, designed to represent a leftward pointing arrow that visually passes through a less-than sign. It is primarily used in mathematical and technical notation, particularly in contexts involving logical or relational expressions where it may indicate a reversed implication, a specific directional operation, or a non-standard comparison that modifies the typical meaning of the less-than sign. This character supports precise communication in fields like formal logic, computing, and advanced mathematics, where distinct symbols are needed to convey nuanced relationships without ambiguity.
