What ⟿ means
It marks a relation between mathematical expressions; the notation around it specifies which one.
In 2001, Unicode meeting notes proposed changing its name from “long rightwards zig-zag arrow” to “long rightwards squiggle arrow.” Unicode's long-arrow materials describe the set as useful for mappings and MathML, a web format for displaying mathematics.
