Empty Set with Left Arrow Above

53/128

⦴ is an empty-set-shaped math sign with a left arrow above it. Its name describes its parts, not its role in a formula; read that role from the notation the author defines.

Text symbol

What ⦴ means

⦴ is the empty set with left arrow above. Unicode classifies it as a mathematical symbol and files it in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block; this site shelves it under Maths.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

⦴ is a single code point, U29B4. In HTML that is ⦴, and in CSS \29B4.

Why does ⦴ show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
