What ⤜ means
Its shape gives no universal reading.
Unicode's math guidance says arrow readings depend on their application, so the surrounding notation supplies the relation.
A 1999 MathML draft (a markup language for formulas) listed rAtail at E23B, a private-use code point with no Unicode-wide meaning. A 2003 ISO math-entity table maps that name to U+291C.
