\downharpoonleft

The \downharpoonleft symbol is used to represent a downward-pointing harpoon with the barb on the left. It is often used in mathematical contexts to denote specific types of mappings or transformations, particularly in vector calculus or physics.

Examples

Represents a mapping or transformation from A to B with a specific directionality.

A \downharpoonleft B

Indicates a vector pointing downward with a leftward harpoon, often used in physics to denote force or field direction.

\vec{v} \downharpoonleft

Applies a downward left harpoon operation to the coordinates (x, y), possibly indicating a transformation or force applied.
