\leftarrowtail

The \leftarrowtail symbol is used in mathematical notation to represent a type of arrow. It is often used in category theory and other areas of mathematics to denote a specific kind of morphism or mapping, typically indicating a transformation or function that is reversible or has a specific property.

Examples

A reversible transformation from B to A labeled by f.

A \xleftarrowtail{f} B

A morphism from Y to X with specific properties indicated by g.

X \xleftarrowtail{g} Y

A mapping from N to M, often used in category theory.

M \xleftarrowtail{h} N
