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.
