What ⤻ means
It traces a bend underneath the path it connects.
Here, anticlockwise means opposite the direction of a clock’s hands. MathML, a format for laying out mathematics, treats ⤻ as an infix operator—one placed between expressions. That layout role does not give it one universal equation meaning.
