\hookleftarrow

The \hookleftarrow symbol is used in mathematical notation to represent a type of arrow that hooks to the left. It is often used in category theory and other areas of mathematics to denote a special type of morphism or function, such as an inclusion map.

Examples

A \hookleftarrow B

Represents a function f that is an inclusion from set Y to set X.

f: X \hookleftarrow Y
