Combining Anticlockwise Arrow Above

⃔ is a technical combining mark, a sign that attaches to another character: placed after that character, it puts an anticlockwise arrow above it. The surrounding notation supplies the mark's specific meaning.

What ⃔ means

It marks the character immediately before it.

In a sequence, ⃔ follows its base—the letter or symbol it modifies—and displays above it. It is reusable in technical notation, but the mark alone does not specify one universal operation; the surrounding formula gives it context.

Why does ⃔ move or disappear?

Its position depends on a preceding base and font support.

Enter the base first, then ⃔. If the mark comes first, it may attach to a previous character or appear without a base.

Font support and mark-positioning data affect where it appears; poor support can shift or hide it without changing the character sequence.

Why does ⃔ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
